Status

Review previous climate studies, including Seattle study (Matt

Wiley, 2004), Skamania Workshop (Snover, 2002), Portland study
(Hahn and Palmer, 2002)

Look for Inge's soil depth classification sceme that she used for the

List of additional VIC output variables (coordinate with George)

MME

Talk with Eric Salathe regarding archived climate model results

-daily? And then what can we infer from archived GCM data about
daily/hourly resampling/variability

Pending

MME

Since we cannot get Tmin and Tmax from each climate model, find
out if downward solar radiation is an archived variable for all the
climate models -ask Eric Salathe
Not Started
Develop preliminary website for internal use (for data exchange)

Follow up to schedule a sector lead meeting next week to talk about
specific sector data needs.

Calibration of 1/16th degree model versus 1/8th degree model

Create project schedule

MME

Obtain results from 1 climate model and have Eric use downscaling
code on it to 1/8th degree. Then compare the downscaled data
with the VIC data.
Pending
postprocessing of variability over 90 years using snapshot of the
future.
Not Started

MME

Clean up autocalibration code and create script to run everything.

Pending

MME

Clean up routing code and make more efficient -Inge has new
routing code and Andy has implemented it in the past. Check with
Andy.
Pull naturalized flow data together.
Reminder to get from Alan code that does mass balance summary
and glaciation check.

Response

We will likely output all variables -need to see what comes of data
meeting

Scheduled for Aug 20

Talked with Andy -he thinks we need to calibrate at 1/16th degree
because precipitation may be significantly different.

Currently running comparison

Naturalized vs. managed flows -decide which we need where.

Have code -currently getting it to work.
