Meteorological conditions associated with rain-related periglacial debris flows on Mount Hood, Oregon and Mount Rainier, Washington

Creator:

Parker, Lauren E.

Abstract:

In November of 2006 an intense rainstorm of tropical origin, known colloquially as the "Pineapple Express," inundated the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, initiating numerous periglacial debris flows on several of the stratovolcanoes in the Cascade Range of Oregon and Washington. These debris flows rapidly aggrade channels, deposit...

Precipitation estimation in mountainous terrain using multivariate geostatistics

Creator:

Hevesi, Joseph A.

Abstract:

Estimates of average annual precipitation (AAP) are-needed for hydrologic modeling at Yucca Mtn., Nevada, site of a proposed, high-level nuclear waste repository. Historical precipitation data and station elevation were obtained for stations in southern Nevada and southeastern California. Elevations for 1,531 additional locations were obtained from topographic maps. The sample...

An analysis of the distribution of precipitation and runoff from the historical record for the continental United States

Creator:

Dolph, Jayne Ellen

Abstract:

Characterizing the distribution of precipitation at regional scales is a requirement for the development of regional scale, spatially distributed hydrologic water balance models. This study performs a preliminary assessment of the utility and limitations of historical hydro-meteorological data for providing spatially distributed precipitation estimates over large areas. The historical data...
