1 Alaska PRIDE wind/wave climatology workshop: Motivation, results David E. Atkinson International Arctic Research Center / Atmospheric Sciences Department University of Alaska Fairbanks James Partain National Weather Service, Alaska Region Headquarters NOAA
2 Objective: Improve operational capacity for emergency response Improve operational capacity for emergency response
3 Justifications for this work Alaska gets powerful storms understanding required: Important link with Pacific region many are recurving tropical cyclones Drives wave/surge activity = erosion Impact on coastal communities villages Economic importance of Anchorage for AK, US Impacts on natural systems, some critical ground thermal regime (ice) marine productivity Contribution of knowledge US positioning for international science efforts Increasing public awareness Increasing political interest/activity
4 Justification: Alaska gets strong storms Historically, Deepest recorded SLP 925 mb Strongest surface sustained winds 139mph October 2004: 941 mb storm (946 mb storm 1 week later) Category 4 hurricane in the Atlantic (using only pressure) Type Category Pressure Winds Surge mb knts mph ft Depression TD < 34 < Tropical Storm TS Hurricane 1 > Hurricane Hurricane Hurricane Hurricane 5 < 920 > 135 > 155 > 18
5 Bering Sea storm October 19, 2004
6 Bering Sea storm October 19, 2004 SLP
7 Justification: Alaska coastal communities are impacted Justification: Alaska coastal communities are impacted
8 Mechanisms for coastal impacts Cliff notching and slope slump failure High wave energy + positive surge S. Solomon, Cdn Beaufort S. Solomon, Cdn Beaufort Thermal stress on ice bodies Block failure S. Solomon, Cdn Beaufort A. Mahoney, US Beaufort V. Rachold, East Siberian V. Rachold, Laptev David E. Atkinson IARC/Atm. Sci., University of Alaska Fairbanks
9 Impacts communities and infrastructure S. Ogorodov, Barents S. Solomon, Cdn Beaufort David E. Atkinson IARC/Atm. Sci., University G. of Manson, Alaska Cdn Fairbanks Beaufort
10 Impacts Alaska - communities The following communities in AK are threatened: Homer (Katchemak Bay/Kenai) Newtok (Kenai) Shishmaref (Seward) Point Hope (North Slope /Lisburne Peninsula) Kivalina (North Slope/Lisburne Peninsula) Barrow (North Slope) Bluff and seawall defense at Homer, AK Picture from High School project by Monica Peters Nat Seaman Joleena Baugh Kirsten Baltz 2003, Homer High School David E.

14 Justification: Current/growing economic importance of Anchorage Airport important international air cargo hub 1 Hong Kong Int l 2 Memphis Int l 3 Tokyo Narita 4 Anchorage Ted Stevens International 5 Seoul Incheon (source: Air Cargo News, 2005) Port of Anchorage beginning a large re-fit plus new (hoped for) rail link into Canada will make Anchorage competitive with LA, Seattle
15 Justification: Other impacts of AK storms Justification: Other impacts of AK storms
16 Impact on ground thermal regime Impact on ground thermal regime Temperature C
17 Impact on marine productivity NOAA 2nd PRIDE meeting - EOS article about Isabel and mixing - Arctic waters very productive, often stratified; potential large effect
18 Justification: Interfacing with large projects (science oriented) This work will better position the US to integrate with large projects such as LOICZ (Land-Ocean Interactions in the Coastal Zone)
19 Justification: Increasing general public awareness (public oriented) - Better positioned to respond to public requests for information/products Example Discover article that mentions AK village problems (readership > 1M; 800K for Scientific American)
20 Justification: Increasing political awareness and scientific activity at home and internationally = policy development David E. Atkinson IARC/Atm. Sci., University of Alaska Fairbanks

24 Activity Description Status Wave model Gather information about deep ocean and Completed August 2005 compilation near shore wave models suitable for use by this project that are available in the US or easily available abroad Literature Gather references and documents concerning Underway August 2005; search Data ingestion Conduct scoping workshop relevant work that bears on this project Gather data necessary to discharge some of the science components required to complete this project. Begin with the NCEP North American Regional Reanalysis Run a workshop to scope out the project. Focus at this point is on Alaska: workshop held therefore in Anchorage. State and stakeholder representation was obtained. Group formed an on-going resource for science plan development and theme work. references being compiled Underway August 2005 First NARR wind fields obtained; first handling programs written Completed August 2005 Final report in the form of a science plan (currently in preparation)
25 Work underway by O.
