Скачать или смотреть Nathan Leber on improving the TexMesonet's data coverage

Nathan Leber - TexMesonet Program Manager, Texas Water Development Board: "At this stage, the TWDB's primary focus is on filling in the gaps in data coverage across the state and ensuring that the quality of the data is as good as possible. The TexMesonet Program provides public access to this data free of charge via the TexMesonet website. Moving forward, one of the things that excites me is operationalizing this soil database because soil conditions play a significant role in how energy and moisture move across and through the Earth's surface. Existing products can be improved by the inclusion of this data. Soil moisture maps can provide planners, emergency managers with information on expected runoff at a city or county level. The data can improve fire risk or weather forecasts. And on the ag side, we are looking at products to help inform irrigation, scheduling, and planting."
