When the Rain Stops: Drought on Subseasonal and Longer Timescales
- Aspen Global Change Institute, Basalt, CO (United States); Aspen Global Change Institute
The Aspen Global Change Institute hosted a technical science workshop, “When the Rain Stops: Drought on Subseasonal and Longer Timescales,” on September 9-14, 2018 in Aspen, CO. Gerald Meehl (NCAR), Roger Pulwarty (NOAA), and Angeline Pendergrass (NCAR) served as co-chairs for the workshop. The meeting included the participation of 25 scientists for a total of 125 participant days. The workshop resulted in agreement on definitions for both operational and research/prediction uses. Workshop participants are in the process of testing these definitions within their work on drought modeling, and impacts assessment, with the intention that these definitions can then be evaluated for CMIP6 (and incorporated into ESMValTool), as well as for the IPCC AR6 from observations, models, and impacts. Findings from the workshop and follow on experiments are in the process of being summarized and submitted for publication in a high profile peer-reviewed journal.
