The NLDAS-2 precipitation and its simulated discharge are used as the reference to compare with TMPA-3B42 V7, TMPA-3B42RT V7, Stage IV, CPC-U, MERRA-2, and MSWEP V2.2 for 1548 well-gauged river basins. The relative errors in multiple conventional precipitation products and their corresponding discharges are analyzed for the period of 2002–13.

  • Patterns of Change in High Frequency Precipitation Variability Over North
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Patterns of change in high frequency precipitation variability over North America Received: 10 January 2017 Susana Roque-Malo1 & Praveen Kumar 1,2 Accepted: 15 August 2017 Precipitation variability encompasses attributes associated with the sequencing and duration of events Published: xx xx xxxx of the full range of magnitudes. However, climate change studies have largely focused on extreme events. Using analyses of long-term weather station data, we show that high frequency events, such as fraction of wet days in a year and average duration of wet and dry periods, are undergoing signifcant changes across North America. Further, these changes are more prevalent and larger than those associated with extremes. Such trends also exist for events of a range of magnitudes. Existence of localized clusters with opposing trend to that of broader geographic variation illustrates the role of microclimate and other drivers of trends. Such hitherto unknown patterns over the entire North American continent have the potential to signifcantly inform our characterization of the resilience and vulnerability of a broad range of ecosystems and agricultural and socio-economic systems. They can also set new benchmarks for climate model assessments. Variability of high frequency precipitation, that is, the variability associated with non-extreme events such as sequencing and persistence of daily precipitation, plays a signifcant role in a myriad of terrestrial functions. Tese include ecosystem and agricultural productivity which are strongly tied to soil-moisture states, biogeochemi- cal processes which are functions of moisture and temperature states, performance of economic systems which depend on sustained availability of water, etc1.

  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Andrew Moore
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Andrew Moore: Dirt Meridian January 9 – February 15, 2014 Opening Reception with the artist: Thursday, January 9, 2014, 6-8pm Yancey Richardson is pleased to present Dirt Meridian, the sixth solo exhibition at the gallery by American artist Andrew Moore. The title of the exhibition refers to the 100th meridian west, the longitudinal line which runs through North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, and is historically regarded as the geographic beginning of the American West. Best known for his expansive projects in Cuba, Russia, and most recently, Detroit, Mooreʼs large format photographs often use architecture as subject and means to illustrate a complicated history of place. In this sense, Dirt Meridian can be seen on a continuum with his previous work, especially the highly acclaimed Detroit series. In Detroit, Moore focused on the new and unexpected landscape that has arisen from the degradation of a great American urban center. To the West, in the arid high plains, the artist has turned to what remains of the isolated homesteads and other structures once central to the American agrarian identity. Although the 1862 Homestead Act created a surge of population in the region, historically inhospitable conditions have kept it a largely empty quarter of the country, and the few inhabitants who remain are for the most part descendants of the original settlers. As Moore describes: “Whatʼs remarkable about the 100th meridian is that as the very center line of this country, the absolute divide between East and West, it teeters between being lost in time, so to speak, yet at the same moment itʼs highly affected by large scale global forces, such as climate change, energy exploration, resource management, and food production.

  • 43 FR 38035 (August 25, 1978)
    FEDERAL REGISTER: 43 FR 38035 (August 25, 1978) DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement 30 CFR PART 715 Appendix - Alluvial Valley Floors Technical Guidelines Notice of Public Hearing ACTION: Proposed policy and interpretation; notice of public hearing. SUMMARY: The Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (Public Law 95-87) establishes a comprehensive regulatory scheme for the preservation and protection of alluvial valley floors in the arid and semiarid areas of the United States west of the 100th meridian west longitude from the adverse effects of surface coal mining operations. The Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSM) is today publishing proposed guidance to assist both State regulatory authorities and OSM in the interpretation and application of section 515(b)(10) and 510(b)(5) of the act and 30 CFR 715.17(j) (42 FR 62687, December 13, 1977) to pending permit applications and mining and reclamation plans for surface coal mining operations which may be subject to those sections of the act and regulations. This guidance is proposed in order to promote uniformity of interpretation and application of the act and regulations relating to alluvial valley floors among regulatory authorities who share responsibility under the act, and to give fair notice to operators of the information which may be requested by regulatory authorities when a surface coal mining operation will or may affect the essential hydrologic functions, uses, or productivity or alluvial valley floors. DATES: Comments or suggestions regarding the proposed policy and interpretation should be submitted on or before October 23, 1978.
