Gridded 20-Year Parameterization of a Stochastic Weather Generator (CLIGEN) to Fill Gaps in Coverage South of the 40th Parallel
CLImate GENerator (CLIGEN) is a stochastic weather generator that produces daily and sub-daily timeseries of weather variables. This gridded CLIGEN parameterization complements existing coverage for South America and Africa by adding new coverage for Central America, the Caribbean, the Middle East, South Asia, Southeast Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and various islands.
Turfgrass Soil Carbon Change Through Time: Raw Data and Code
Managed turfgrass is a common component of urban landscapes that is expanding under current land use trends. Previous studies have reported high rates of soil carbon sequestration in turfgrass, but no systematic review has summarized these rates nor evaluated how they change as turfgrass ages. We conducted a meta-analysis of soil carbon sequestration rates from 63 studies. Those data, as well as the code used to analyze them and create figures, are shared here.
Data from: 'Drowning in Drought': County-level drought vulnerability and adaptive capacity of New Mexico Ranchers
To capture the nuances of drought experiences across New Mexico, semi-structured interviews were conducted with New Mexico State University (NMSU) Cooperative Extension Service (CES) agents (livestock, 4-H, Tribal) across the state in June-September 2020. The interviews were guided by the questions “does region matter [for drought adaptation differences], and on what?”
Data from: Thermal tolerance of western corn rootworm: critical thermal limits, knock-down resistance, and chill coma recovery
Data files for manuscript titled "Thermal tolerance of western corn rootworm: critical thermal limits, knock-down resistance, and chill coma recovery".
Metadata is contained within excel file that describes all variables for each tab.
Gridded 20-Year Parameterization of a Stochastic Weather Generator (CLIGEN) for South American and African Continents at 0.25 Arc Degree Resolution
CLImate GENerator (CLIGEN) is a stochastic weather generator that produces daily and sub-daily timeseries of weather variables. The resulting timeseries are statistically similar to observed timeseries considering various temporal scales and climate factors. This dataset consisting of CLIGEN inputs may be used to generate timeseries at any point in a 0.25 arc degree resolution grid covering South American and African continents.
Data from: Biochar stability in a highly weathered sandy soil under four years of continuous corn production
This is digital research metadata corresponding to a published manuscript in Energies (MDPI) entitled "Biochar stability in a highly weathered sandy soil under four years of continuous corn production", Volume 14, Issue 19, 6157. Dataset may be accessed via the included link at the Dryad data repository.
Data from: Multiscale climatological albedo look-up maps derived from moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer BRDF/albedo products
The dataset includes albedo look-up maps (LUMs) using a multiscale hierarchical approach based on moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF)/albedo products and Landsat imagery. Ten years (2001 to 2011) of MODIS BRDF/albedo products were used to generate global albedo climatology.
SGP97 GCIP/EOP Surface: Precipitation NCEP/EMC 4KM Gridded Data (GRIB) Gage-Only Analysis (GAG) 1996-2001
NAL Geospatial Catalog
This dataset contains the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Environmental Modeling Center (EMC) 4 KM GRIB gage-only analysis ("GAG") data. A prototype, real-time, hourly, multi-sensor National Preciptation Analysis (NPA) has been developed at NCEP in cooperation with the Office of Hydrology (OH). This analysis merges two data sources that are currently being collected in real-time by OH and NCEP. Hourly digital precipitation (HDP) radar estimates are created by the WSR-88D Radar Product Generator on a 131 X 131 4-km grid centered over each radar site. Data analysis routines, including a bias correction of the radar estimates using rain gage data, have been adapted by NCEP on a national 4-km grid from algorithms developed by OH and executed regionally at NWS River Forecast Centers (RFC). This dataset only contains the NCEP 4 KM GRIB Data gage-only hourly, 6-hourly, and daily analysis. 6-hourly data are generally available at 00Z, 06Z, 12Z, and 18Z.
