P.I. OldenburgThe California Water Resources Research and Applications Center is one of seven NASA RESAC (Regional Earth Science Applications Centers) and is a member of the ESIP (Earth Sciences Information Partnership). Its primary focus is on hydroclimate and impacts research based on modeling and analysis of regional climate, streamflow, and water demand, water quality and agriculture impact models. We investigate past, present, and future climate on regional and sub-regional spatial scales at various temporal resolutions. This research utilizes global climate historical analysis, short-term and seasonal forecasts, and long-term projected transient carbon dioxide scenarios as input forcing to our limited area mesoscale atmospheric simulation model, statistical downscaling schemes, and our suite of hydrologic models and applications. The Regional Climate System Model is a primary tool for our research.
