Downscaling of Seasonal Precipitation for Crop Simulation

Source: Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology:;2007:;volume( 046 ):;issue: 006:;page 677

Author(s): Robertson, Andrew W.; Ines, Amor V. M.; Hansen, James W.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: A nonhomogeneous hidden Markov model (NHMM) is used to make stochastic simulations of March?August daily rainfall at 10 stations over the southeastern United States, 1923?98. Station-averaged observed daily rainfall amount ...

Abstract: Advanced information in the form of seasonal climate forecasts has the potential to improve farmers? decision making, leading to increases in farm profits. Interdisciplinary initiatives seeking to understand and exploit ...

ENSO Influences on Agriculture in the Southeastern United States

Source: Journal of Climate:;1998:;volume( 011 ):;issue: 003:;page 404

Author(s): Hansen, James W.; Hodges, Alan W.; Jones, James W.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: The influence of El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on crop production in the southeastern United States was studied to identify crops that are vulnerable to ENSO-related weather variability and therefore likely to benefit ...

Assessing Predictability of Cotton Yields in the Southeastern United States Based on Regional Atmospheric Circulation and Surface Temperatures

Source: Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology:;2008:;volume( 047 ):;issue: 001:;page 76

Author(s): Baigorria, Guillermo A.; Hansen, James W.; Ward, Neil; Jones, James W.; O’Brien, James J.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: The potential to predict cotton yields up to one month before planting in the southeastern United States is assessed in this research. To do this, regional atmospheric variables that are related to historic summer rainfall ...

El Niño–Southern Oscillation Impacts on Winter Vegetable Production in Florida

Source: Journal of Climate:;1999:;volume( 012 ):;issue: 001:;page 92

Author(s): Hansen, James W.; Jones, James W.; Kiker, Clyde F.; Hodges, Alan W.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: Florida?s mild winters allow the state to play a vital role in supplying fresh vegetables for U.S. consumers. Producers also benefit from premium prices when low temperatures prevent production in most of the country. This ...
