Measuring and modeling rainfall with terrestrial sensors and radar : implications for rainfall heterogeneity and discharge
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
Quantitative precipitation estimates are fundamental for hydrometeorological analyses. Radars provide a superior spatiotemporal advantage over terrestrial-based precipitation gauges to provide such measures of rainfall. ...
Management of nitrogen and nitrification inhibitors for corn and wheat production on claypan soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
Use of nitrification inhibitors (NI) in agricultural production systems is considered a risk management strategy for both agricultural and environmental considerations. It can be utilized when risk of reduced nitrogen (N) ...
Thermodynamic, kinematic, and radar parameters of isolated tornadoes with and without NWS warning
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
Tornadoes are a rapidly forming weather phenomenon that forecasters may have difficulty anticipating. A tornado warning is issued when atmospheric conditions are imminent for formation or a tornado has already formed and ...
The horizontal redistribution of anomalous vertical heat fluxes at tropical latitudes /
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
A study was conducted to improve quantitative understanding of how anomalous vertical heat fluxes associated with the El Nio-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) are transported poleward to maintain climate equilibrium. State-of-the-art ...
A study of elevated convection and its impacts on surface weather conditions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
Elevated convection is a vexing phenomenon that causes forecasting problems for both numerical weather prediction systems and human forecasters alike. It is frequently associated with heavy rain and can produce flash ...
The occurrence of extreme monthly temperatures and precipitation in two global regions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
There has been a lot of focus on the occurrence of extreme weather events and their connection to climate change and variability. Much of this previous work has been related to individual events rather than for mean monthly ...
Influence of cover crop and tillage management practices on soil physical and hydraulic properties
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
Several agricultural land management practices, such as cover crops and tillage, can influence soil physical and hydraulic properties, soil health indicators and crop productivity. This study evaluated the influence of ...
Assessing soil carbon and soil quality for sustainable agricultural systems in tropical hillslope soils using spectroscopic methods
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
Soil quality is a concept that integrates physical, chemical, and biological components and processes of soil across landscapes. Identifying and developing appropriate methods to quantify and assess changes in soil quality ...
