Abstract. Many fields, such as drought-risk assessment or reservoir management, can benefit from long-range streamflow forecasts. Climatology has long been used in long-range streamflow forecasting. Conditioning methods have been proposed to select or weight relevant historical time series from climatology. They are often based on general circulation model (GCM) outputs that are specific to the forecast date due to the initialisation of GCMs on current conditions. This study investigates the impact of conditioning methods on the performance of seasonal streamflow forecasts. Four conditioning statistics based on seasonal forecasts of cumulative precipitation and the standardised precipitation index were used to select relevant traces within historical streamflows and precipitation respectively. This resulted in eight conditioned streamflow forecast scenarios. These scenarios were compared to the climatology of historical streamflows, the ensemble streamflow prediction approach and the streamflow forecasts obtained from ECMWF System 4 precipitation forecasts. The impact of conditioning was assessed in terms of forecast sharpness (spread), reliability, overall performance and low-flow event detection. Results showed that conditioning past observations on seasonal precipitation indices generally improves forecast sharpness, but may reduce reliability, with respect to climatology. Conversely, conditioned ensembles were more reliable but less sharp than streamflow forecasts derived from System 4 precipitation. Forecast attributes from conditioned and unconditioned ensembles are illustrated for a case of drought-risk forecasting: the 2003 drought in France. In the case of low-flow forecasting, conditioning results in ensembles that can better assess weekly deficit volumes and durations over a wider range of lead times.

The impact of phonon and their surrounding environment on exciton and its complexes were investigated in monolayer WSe2 semiconductor. Phonon up-conversion has been studied in past for conventional III–V semiconductors, but its role in two-dimensional layered transition metal dichalcogenides has rarely been explored. We investigated the photoluminescence up-conversion mechanism in WSe2 monolayer and found that a lower energy photon gain energy upto 64[Formula: see text]meV to be up-converted to emission photon at room temperature. Moreover, the phonon-exciton coupling mechanism has also been investigated and the role of dielectric screening has been explored to get complete insight of coulomb’s interaction in these electron-hole pairs. Investigations of charge carrier’s lifetime reveal that boron nitride encapsulated monolayer has shorter recombination time as low as 41 ps as compared to a bare monolayer on SiO2 substrate. These results are very promising for realizing spintronics-based application from two-dimensional layered semiconductors.
