Adaptive Climate Response Cost Models for Infrastructure
The climate in Alaska is changing with temperatures and precipitation increasing, and experts say those changes will continue. The changing climate will, among other kinds of social and economic effects, damage public infrastructure throughout Alaska, adding to maintenance costs and shortening the life span of everything from schools to sanitation systems. The question of how much cost impact t...
متن کاملFramework for Estimating Cost of Infrastructure Adaptation to Climate Change
Recently, the effects of global climate changes have become top concerns for governments’ decision making regarding infrastructure investments. Extreme weather events that exceed the capacity of existing systems have considerably increased in frequency, and the potential effects of changing trends in temperature and rainfall on infrastructure are difficult to ignore. It is essential for governm...
متن کاملAdaptive Grids for Weather and Climate Models
An adaptive grid technique has been applied to a revised version of NCAR/NASA’s next generation dynamical core for climate and weather research. This hydrostatic so-called Lin-Rood dynamics package is based on a conservative and monotonic finite volume discretization in flux form. The adaptive model design utilizes a spherical adaptive-grid library which is based on a cache-efficient block-stru...
متن کاملNew Adaptive Designs for Delayed Response Models
Adaptive designs are effective mechanisms for flexibly allocating experimental resources. In clinical trials particularly, such designs allow researchers to balance short and long term goals. Unfortunately, fully sequential strategies require outcomes from all previous allocations prior to the next allocation. This can prolong an experiment unduly. As a result, we seek designs for models that s...
متن کاملAdaptive Designs for Delayed Response Models
Adaptive designs are effective mechanisms for flexibly allocating experimental resources. In clinical trials particularly, such designs allow researchers to balance short and long term goals of improving patient well being. This tradeoff often takes the form of trying to minimize patient losses during the experiment while simultaneously gathering sufficient information to support decisions abou...
