Use of an Observation Network in the Great Basin to Evaluate Gridded Climate Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: redicting sharp hydroclimatic gradients in the complex terrain of the Great Basin can prove to be challenging because of the lack of climate observations that are gradient focused. Furthermore, evaluating gridded data ...
Evaluation of the Complementary Relationship Using Noah Land Surface Model and North American Regional Reanalysis (NARR) Data to Estimate Evapotranspiration in Semiarid Ecosystems
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: stimating evapotranspiration using the complementary relationship can serve as a proxy to more sophisticated physically based approaches and can be used to better understand water and energy budget feedbacks. The authors ...
An Evaluation of Multiscalar Drought Indices in Nevada and Eastern California
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: evada and eastern California are home to some of the driest and warmest climates, most mountainous regions, and fastest growing metropolitan areas of the United States. Throughout Nevada and eastern California, snow-dominated ...
Climate Engine: Cloud Computing and Visualization of Climate and Remote Sensing Data for Advanced Natural Resource Monitoring and Process Understanding
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: imate Engine enables users to process, visualize, download, and share climate and remote sensing datasets with a simple web-connection, thereby overcoming common big data barriers.
The Evaporative Demand Drought Index. Part II: CONUS-Wide Assessment against Common Drought Indicators
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: recipitation, soil moisture, and air temperature are the most commonly used climate variables to monitor drought; however, other climatic factors such as solar radiation, wind speed, and humidity can be important drivers ...
The Evaporative Demand Drought Index. Part I: Linking Drought Evolution to Variations in Evaporative Demand
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: any operational drought indices focus primarily on precipitation and temperature when depicting hydroclimatic anomalies, and this perspective can be augmented by analyses and products that reflect the evaporative dynamics ...
Untitled
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET) team provides food insecurity outlooks for several developing countries in Africa, central Asia, and Central America. This study describes development of a new ...
Reservoir Evaporation in the Western United States: Current Science, Challenges, and Future Needs
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractOne way to adapt to and mitigate current and future water scarcity is to manage and store water more efficiently. Reservoirs act as critical buffers to ensure agricultural and municipal water deliveries, mitigate ...
