Dynamic Selection of Ensemble Members in Multi-model Hydrometeorological Ensemble Forecasting
Abstract Multi-model prediction ensembles show significant ability to improve forecasts. Nevertheless, the set of models in an ensemble is not always optimal. This work proposes a procedure that allows to select dynamically ensemble members for each ...

Performance Evaluation of Remediation Scenarios for DNAPL Contaminated Groundwater Using Analytical Models and Probabilistic Methods
Abstract Chlorinated solvents are widespread groundwater contaminants. Treatment or removal of source areas and treatment of the groundwater plume are the two primary strategies used to reduce risks at contaminated sites. Optimal design of...

Causes of interannual to decadal variability of Gila River streamflow over the past century
Abstract Study region The Gila River, New Mexico, is characterized by two peaks in streamflow: one in the winter–spring (December–May), and summer (August–September). The region is influenced both by Pacific SST variability as well ...

Long-term fate of CO2 in a saline aquifer: modeling issues
Abstract As part of the CO2CARE project, modeling of the post-closure behavior within the CO2 storage complex has been partly tackled in the case of the Sleipner CO2 storage. Based on a specific workflow developed in the CO2ReMove project, three...
