3 What s the Great Basin?? Hydrological & Biological Definitions USFS
4 Motivation - 1 / 2 (for web reference) Now that winter is fading, how have weather/climate events over the past cool season (or the past year, or however far back you want to go), had an effect on where things now stand? What are the conditions of the resource you deal with? Were there particular events or extended episodes that have exerted an influence, or will be expected to as we head through summer into autumn? What are your concerns, pertaining to climate, as we head into the coming summer and beyond? How adequately can you evaluate your current situation(s)? What information is missing? Are there steps that could be taken to improve the amount, or flow, of data and information? Are there routine monitoring products that would improve your ability to do your job? If information does exist, what would make it more useful, and easier to find, to digest, or to summarize?
5 Motivation - 2 / 2 (for web reference) What would make it easier to form linkages between weather and climate data and your own information? Conversely, for others who might be interested in what you monitor or do, how can your information be better disseminated? This meeting is not about climate change, but rather climate in its generality -- the everyday monitoring of climate, its quasi-operational components, and its practical implications. However, if slowly changing conditions are a factor, they are certainly suitable topics. The Great Basin Climate Forum is being tried as an experiment, and a learning vehicle for all concerned.
6 Many products and tools reachable at or through WRCC web pages Another set under way as part of Southwest Climate Science Center We d like your help in making this information more accessible, useful, and usable.
