Extreme Spring Rainfal

Procedure: Note: Various resources are referenced below. Additional resources may be made available via Moodle. To develop your journalistic account, answer the following six questions. Hints are provided to assist you in framing your response from a weather and climate perspective (W&CP).

Who?​ - In answering “Who was involved?”, a W&CP requires you think beyond the biosphere to include (at least) the rainfall itself (was it given a name?) and the atmosphere. Was it a single event? Are there other spheres of the Earth system that are affected? 

What?​ - Again, to emphasize a W&CP, “What happened?” requires you to include the rainfall and the atmosphere (minimally) in succinctly capturing this part of the account. If the rainfall is regarded as the cause, were there any effects of the extreme rainfall event(s)? 

Where?​ - Here, to emphasize a W&CP, locate the affected areas in relative terms (e.g., relative to a city, region, province, ... ) as well as absolute terms (i.e., via latitude and longitude, if possible). In addition to locating places, try to ‘locate’ the rainfall quantitatively using observations from the surface and beyond. In addition to past and present, is there a future aspect of “Where?” that needs to be accounted for? (Note: Even if you are located in Ontario (close to York), you do not need to build up a local account; in other words, feel free to focus on extreme Spring rainfall in Quebec, elsewhere in Canada, or somewhere else entirely.) 

When?​ - In responding to the question of “When did it take place?”, is it clear that there is a timespan involved - a timespan punctuated by various events that emphasize a W&CP? In addition to past and present, is there a future aspect of “When?” that needs to be accounted for? 

Why?​ - In emphasizing “Why did it happen?” from a W&CP, is it possible to identify a natural/anthropogenic root cause (with any degree of certainty)? How does the broader setting, beyond humans and the atmosphere, support or oppose ‘the why’ (if at all)? (Note: You are not expected to delve into the details of precipitation mechanisms - this topic will receive attention later in the course.) 

How?​ - In emphasizing “How did it happen?” from a W&CP, is it possible to identify processes involved in initiating and evolving the rainfall event(s)? Can these processes be linked (i.e., connected) to delineate process flows?
