Very High-Resolution Dynamic Downscaling of Regional Climate for Use in Long-term Hydrologic Planning along the Red River Valley System The U.S. Great Plains is known for frequent hazardous convective weather and climate extremes. Across this region, climate change is expected to cause more severe droughts, more intense heavy rainfall events, and subsequently more flooding episodes. These potential changes in climate will adversely affect habitats, ecosystems, and landscapes as well as the fish and wildlife they support. Better understanding and simulation of regional precipitation can help natural resource managers mitigate and adapt to these adverse impacts. In this project, we aim to achieve a better precipitation downscaling in the Great Plains with the Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) model and use the high quality dynamic downscaling results...

This database provides input to implement the policies in the agent-based module of the ENVISION RGB integrated model (i.e., the range of possible decisions the agents can make in the model) and explore new scenarios of water management. It was developed drawing on the ethnographic data collected by the ethnographic team (Friedman, Paladino). Regular meetings were facilitated by the modeling team (Koch,...

Water, biota, Fewer tags Standardized Soil Moisture Measurements from Sparse Networks in South Central United States from 2008 to 2017 This dataset contains standardized in-situ soil moisture measurements from four sparse soil moisture monitoring networks in the South Central United States. This includes measurements in Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana. The raw soil moisture measurements from a total of 220 stations over the four states were obtained from the Oklahoma Mesonet, West Texas Mesonet, USDA Soil Climate Analysis Network and NOAA Climate Reference Network. The measurements have been screened using the Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QAQC) process that is described in Quiring et al. (2016). The measurements were standardized to common depths using the methods described in Zhang et al. (2017) and they are provided at a daily...

It was created drawing on a literature and dataset review covering resources from the State Agricultural Extension Services (Colorado State University, New Mexico State University, and Texas A&M University), the USDA (U.S. Department of Agriculture), AgriMet, and the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization). The database provides crop coefficients from plant emergence (or break dormancy in the case of perennials) to termination (harvest or dormancy), as well earliest planting date, killing frost temperature and cumulative growing degree days up to emergence, full cover and termination....

The data covers the period from 1950 to 2100. The high-resolution future projections are statistically downscaled from simulations by 12 global climate models from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 5 (ACCESS1-0, ACCESS1-3, CCSM4, CMCC-CM, CNRM-CM5, CSIRO-Mk3.6.0, MPI-ESM-LR, HadGEM2-CC, INMCM4, IPSL-CM5A-LR, MIROC5 and MRI-CGCM under the lower Representative...

In addition to improving the scientific understanding of how the large-scale climate system works, GCM simulations of past and future climate conditions can be useful in applied research contexts. When seeking to apply information from global-scale climate projections to address local- and regional-scale climate questions, GCM-generated datasets often undergo statistical post-processing generally known as statistical downscaling (hereafter, SD). There are many different SD techniques, with all using information from observations to address GCM...

However, fire suppression and more frequent droughts in the region have resulted in a build-up of dry fuels loads such as dead wood, resulting in fires that burn hotter and impact the landscape more severely. Uncontrolled wildfires have cost the region several billion dollars in the past five years. Further, fire suppression has resulted in substantial losses in native plant biodiversity and wildlife habitat, which also has costly implications. In Oklahoma alone, it’s estimated that $157 million will be required to restore rangelands to their native conditions. Of further concern is the fact that projected changes in climate indicate...
