Tentatively, the role of mean annual precipitation (MAP) and woody cover deficit in juniper encroachment was investigated and compared in these two regions. Results suggest that MAP has a positive effect on the encroachment rate in the semiarid region, but not in the mesic region. The ...
Houston, Texas - sunrise, sunset, dawn and dusk times for the whole year in a graph, day length and changes in lengths in a table. Basic information, like local time and the location on a world map, are also featured.
Data averaged for each site closely agrees with the Texas model, showing a small improvement over the Kohn (2011) model, and agrees better with actual mean annual precipitation. Based on these results, the Kohn (2011) model (and other similar equations) overestimates MAP in areas where MAP ...
saw a reduction of total estimated water use. This is likely due to ample spring rains which broke precipitation records across the state resulting in a reduction of water use for irrigation. Despite the power industries' relatively low consumptive water use compared to irrigation, industry withdraw...
Wind speed map courtesy of West Texas Mesonet. West Texas Mesonet peak 10 meter wind gusts on (mph) on February 26. The damaging winds weren't confined to locations where the thunderstorms moved through. Instead, wind gusts of 60 to 80 mph were common across the Caprock from the late afte...
Annual precipitation in the state varies from 1500 mm in the east to 150 mm in the west (Venkataraman et al., 2016). The plains in the north exhibit a semi-arid climate with an average annual precipitation of 496 mm (Chen et al., 2019). Whereas the northern high plains are ...
characterized by hot summers and mild winters. Summers can be scorching, with temperatures often exceeding 100°F (37.8°C), while winters are relatively mild, with daytime temperatures averaging around 60°F (15.6°C). The region receives minimal precipitation, primarily during the summer months;...
"It's critical that we measure this region's hypoxia as an indicator of ocean health, particularly under a changing climate and potential intensification of storms and increases in precipitation and runoff," Nicole LeBoeuf of NOAA's National Ocean Service said in a news rele...
Main Channel Slope: Computed by WMS, currently needs to be transferred manually from basin data parameters to NSS window. Mean Annual Precipitation: Derived from a map located at theTNRIS website. You can also download the shapefiles directly fromhere. A mean annual rainfall grid for the state...
Mean annual precipitation (MAP) and NDVI have very minimum contribution and were excluded out of the CART models. This is probably due to that NDVI value is a reflection of all live green vegetation rather than woody plants only. As for MAP, though it determines the maximum realizable woody ...
