Great Front Range Flood of 2013 - NCAR STEP Program - Research Seminar
Presented October 4, 2013, at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado. The deadly flood that ravaged several counties along the Front Range of the Colorado Rockies during the week of September 10th, 2013, is believed to be the worst in the state's history. It claimed several lives and destroyed or damaged numerous homes and roads.
In the context of NCAR's Short-Term Explicit Prediction (STEP) program, an effort is under way to understand the flood event and to improve forecasting of future heavy rainfall and flood events.
This research seminar presents what has been learned so far from observations and modeling, including coupled hydrologic modeling. The presenters also discuss a vision for an end-to-end hydrometeorological prediction system for tackling the challenging problem of flash flood prediction.

The CESM Decadal Prediction Large Ensemble
The CESM Decadal Prediction Large Ensemble: Forecasting decadal trends in the North Atlantic and Arctic
Decadal climate predictions exhibit skill in retrospective predictions of observed multi-year trends in sea surface temperature (SST) and sea ice fraction in the high latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere, particularly in the Atlantic sector. The skill is largely attributable to realistic ocean initialization, but external radiative forcing also contributes some skill. Here, we compare the spatiotemporal evolution of 10-year SST and sea ice fraction trends from the CESM Decadal Prediction Large Ensemble (CESM-DPLE; Yeager et al. 2018), which includes both initialization and external forcing, to historical trends diagnosed from the CESM Large Ensemble of 20th Century simulations (CESM-LE; Kay et al. 2015), which only includes external forcing effects. The observed SST data is from the HADISST1 product merged with the NOAA-OI product (Hurrell et al. 2008); the observed sea ice fraction data is from the National Snow & Ice Data Center (NSIDC) passive microwave product NSIDC-0051 (Cavalieri et al. 1996).

#roadtrip #travel #rubbertramp Colorado: Lunch in #Boulder @ NCAR, #Denver & the Rocky Mt Arsenal
In this video I am on a layover after flying into Denver from Philly. I rent a car and stop for lunch in Boulder at UCAR/NCAR (National Center for Atmospheric Research) to visit a couple friends that chef there... they make me some delicious grub and give me a tour of their cafeteria.
Afterwards I see the urban sprawl in Broomefield, drive through Denver visiting Grant Frontier Park and then make my way North to the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge where I learn about chemical weaponry and how the Arsenal has impacted wildlife and Mother Nature.
Watch to find out which animals were discovered living communally at the Arsenal and what animals were introduced here from other states.
Leave me a comment about your Denver and Boulder travel experiences and where you stayed camping ⛺️ for free.
Thanks for watching you guys... God bless and happy trails ❤️
Discover our neighborhood: Boulder, Colorado
Boulder, CO has been our hometown for more than 2 years, but now it's our time to leave for new adventures (you will know more pretty soon). For this occasion, we decided to make a short video showing the main places to visit if you come to Boulder.
Boulder is located in NorthWest of Denver in Colorado, at an altitude of 5,328 ft (1,624m). This city is not famous in the United States, but actually it's very cool to live there:
• First, the climate is just right, with a great amount of snow in winter, very beautiful days in summer, cool thunderstorms in spring, and magnificent colors in the countryside in fall (which is our favorite season)
• Secondly, there are plenty of landscapes: forests, mountains, creeks, lakes, unusual rock formations, etc. Boulder is only 30min from Denver, an hour from Rocky Mountain National Park, and close to a lot of other places that you can see in our video about Colorado landscapes (here is the link: Plus, it's only a few hours from Utah which allows a lot of weekend opportunities!
• Finally, people here are very nice, relaxed. There are a lot of restaurants, shops, and places to chill. Plus a lot of sport activities such as hiking, bicycling, or climbing. Sport is really a part of the culture.
The main places to visit in Boulder are:
• Chautauqua Park with the view of the Flatirons and the Green Mountain. This is the main landscape in Boulder where people like to hike.
• NCAR or National Center of Atmospheric Research, a little bit above the city level, also popular for hiking.
• Settler's Park with its Red Rocks, at the feet of the Mount Sanitas, also popular for hiking.
• Colorado University campus with its beautiful architecture.
• Flagstaff Road with its viewpoints: Boulder Amphitheater, Realization Point, Lost Gultchman Overlook, Gross Reservoir... This road goes up in the nearest mountains and gives you views of both the city and the mountains.
• Boulder Creek, flowing across the city from West to East. Very popular for bicycling.
• Pearl Street Mall and 29th Street Mall, the main places for shopping and dining in Boulder.
• Boulder Falls, on the way to the town of Nederland.

RAL Seminar | March 2019 - A One-Health Strategy for Innovating Food Systems - Elizabeth Ryan
A One-Health Strategy for Innovating Food Systems at the rural-urban interface and under the Impacts of Climate Variability and Change
DR. ELIZABETH RYAN | COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY AND COLORADO SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH
In this talk I will speak about our global health research program that includes our strong interests to integrate our ongoing work at the food, water, energy nexus with environmental sustainability and climate science research affecting both rural and urban areas. One example of innovative solutions to food systems is the development of a heat stabilized rice bran product for developing countries where rice is a staple food crop. While rice crop diseases and yields are already experiencing climate stress, rice bran is typically wasted food or animal feed, and has strong potential for human food consumption and to combat risks for childhood malnutrition and mitigate diarrheal disease burdens. Our teams are also promoting gut health across the lifespan via increasing cultivation and consumption of drought-resistant, climate adapted pulse crops such as beans and cowpeas that are rich sources of protein, fiber and essential micronutrients. Other particular research interests and expertise lie in
the complex interactions of food components with gut microbiota and the immune system to help fight enteric pathogen infections and diarrheal diseases that are both increasing in prevalence and acquiring antimicrobial resistance. Multiple strategies are needed for sustainable solutions in both urban and rural regions that align with national policies and desired economic growth for impacts on planet and public health.
Dr. Ryan is an Associate Professor in the Department of Environmental and Radiological Health Sciences in the College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at Colorado State University and Colorado School of Public Health. Her multi-platform research strategy covers molecular biology, laboratory animal models, companion animals/livestock, and human clinical trials. She has a portfolio of 80+ peer-reviewed scientific publications with collaborations across the broader fields of agriculture, microbiology, immunology, oncology, pediatrics and nutrition. She provides expertise globally on gut health properties of whole grains, legumes, and fermented foods. Her current research program has funding support from the National Institutes of Health and the National Institute for Food and Agriculture and her global health research awards have been supported by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Supercomputers Solve Mysteries Of Sunspots
Sunspots have fascinated mankind right from their first detection. Their mere existence challenged science and philosophy when it was recognized that the sun, once believed to be pure and unchanging, was indeed not.
Now, state-of-the art telescopes, combined with the muscle of a supercomputer called Bluefire, are allowing scientists to come to a physics understanding of sunspots and to accurately model their structure and dynamics.
Sunspots are the manifestation of very strong magnetic fields at the solar surface, said Michael Knölker, the director of the High Altitude Observatory at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colo. They are cooler than their surroundings. This is why we see them as dark spots on an otherwise much brighter solar disc.
Knölker and Matthias Rempel, both astrophysicists, are developing new computer models of sunspots with funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF).
