Runoff - NASA Earthdata Runoff is the measurement of the flow of water into a lake, stream or other waterbody, usually expressed in cubic feet per second The flow is produced by rainfall from storms, precipitation accumulation or transpiration, melting ice or snow, seepage, evaporation, and percolation
Global Hydrologic Soil Groups (HYSOGs250m) for Curve Number-Based . . . This dataset - HYSOGs250m - represents a globally consistent, gridded dataset of hydrologic soil groups (HSGs) with a geographical resolution of 1 480 decimal degrees, corresponding to a projected resolution of approximately 250-m These data were developed to support USDA-based curve-number runoff modeling at regional and continental scales Classification of HSGs was derived from soil
Cattle, Crops, and Coral: Flood Plumes and the Great . . . - Earthdata The Fitzroy's waters flush sediment, fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, and other civilization-borne runoff hundreds of miles into the water off the coast of Australia At the end of the runoff plume, waiting for the sediment and nutrients to settle, are the prismatic corals of the Great Barrier Reef
Snow Melt - NASA Earthdata Water runoff from melting snowpack and glaciers, when combined with rainfall, can affect the timing and magnitude of river flows and significantly impact the risk of flooding events However, snow melt also has some beneficial effects — billions of people worldwide rely on seasonal water runoff from snowpack and glaciers for irrigation and drinking water The Indus Basin in Asia, for example
Glacier Power: Why is Glacier Ice Blue? - NASA Earthdata Glacial ice is a different color from regular ice It is so blue because the dense ice of the glacier absorbs every other color of the spectrum except blue — so blue is what we see!
Wasting Away | NASA Earthdata Stormwater runoff is a major source of ocean pollution in LA and Southern California The Southern California Bight (SCB), a curved coastline from Point Conception to San Diego, is home to nearly 25 percent of the coastal population in the United States
Snow Water Equivalent - NASA Earthdata Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) is the amount of water contained in snowpack It is analogous to melting the snow and measuring the depth of the resulting pool of water SWE measurements are useful for assessing both the potential surface runoff from snow melt and the water availability for regions in lower elevations
Terrestrial Hydrosphere | NASA Earthdata In addition, NASA hydrospheric model data provide information on runoff and evapotranspiration Our data provide information about many aspects of snow and ice development and processes, ground and surface water quality and chemistry, and the inflow and outflow of water from a region through rainfall, evaporation, runoff, seepage, and other means
NACP MsTMIP: Global 0. 5-degree Model Outputs in Standard Format . . . Description This data set provides global gridded estimates of carbon, energy, and hydrologic fluxes between the land and atmosphere from 15 Terrestrial Biosphere Models (TBMs) in a standard format Model estimates are at monthly and yearly time steps for the period 1900 to 2010, with a spatial resolution of 0 5 degree x 0 5 degree globally, excluding Antarctica
ISLSCP II UNH GRDC Composite Monthly Runoff | NASA Earthdata ISLSCP II UNH GRDC Composite Monthly RunoffThe University of New Hampshire (UNH) Global Runoff Data Centre (GRDC) composite runoff data combines simulated water balance model runoff estimates derived from climate forcing with monitored river discharge It can be viewed as a data assimilation applied in a water balance model context (conceptually similar to the commonly used 4DDA techniques
