This grant is for advancing inter-decadal streamflow projection research to enhance operational decision-making regarding water resources. Building on previous efforts, this project addresses a critical gap recognized by climate modeling groups by developing a credible methodology for long-term streamflow projections. The research will expand on recent successes in modulating basin runoff efficiency at inter-decadal scales by precipitation and temperature. A key focus involves developing advanced wavelet-spectral methods to skillfully combine paleo-reconstructed flow data with current observations, aiming to generate robust decadal mean streamflow projections. The overall goal is to establish a comprehensive suite of projection tools integrating observational, paleo, and model data for practical application.

| Description: | This project is an extension of research by the PIs. That intends to lead research to initiate a mechanism by which to provide credible projection methodology at inter-decadal time scales. Climate modeling groups have recognized this gap and there has been recent flurry of serious research activities on decadal climate projection by groups in US and Europe. Recently they were able to modulate the basin runoff efficiency as consequence of precipitation and temperature and modulations at the inter-decadal scales. In this research we also will develop wavelet-spectral methods to combine paleo-reconstructed flows and observations to generate skillful decadal mean stream flow projections. This intent would be to expand upon the previous efforts to develop a suite of projection tools combining observational, paleo and model data. |
