The Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy (ACCAP) will host a webinar entitled "Dynamical downscaling for Alaska: what is it and how to use it?" The webinar will be presented by Rick Lader and Peter Bieniek, University of Alaska Fairbanks.
Climate-scale variability and change often has local effects not resolved in spatially coarse reanalysis and global climate model output. Downscaling bridges this gap by providing locally-relevant climate information for your backyard. One method of downscaling uses a regional dynamical model to produce the needed higher resolution grids and is the focus of this presentation. The presenters will discuss unique value-added products such as rain-on-snow and extreme events as well as data-quality and uncertainty issues.

Participation in person is also available at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, Akasofu Building, Room 407. Participants are welcome to bring
their lunch.
