Analysis of twenty-five years of heavy rainfall events in the Texas Hill Country
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)Forecasting heavy rain events and the area of greatest threat has been a long standing challenge in operational meteorology. This is especially true in certain regions where the physical geography lends itself to the ... -
Evaluating and improving the performance of radar to estimate rainfall
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)A network of 10 rain gages reports data from the Goodwater Creek catchment in central Missouri. Because such a network is expensive to operate, it could be useful instead to use only a few gages and augment the observations ... -
A formal evaluation of storm type versus storm motion
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)In order to predict the location of heavy storm-generated rainfall that could produce flash flooding, forecasters want to know with what velocity a storm will move. However, few systems exist in meteorology where a storm ... -
Optimizing crop N use efficiency using polymer-coated urea and other N fertilizer sources across landscapes with claypan soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)Development of improved management practices to increase nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) within agricultural fields is needed to improve crop production and reduce nitrogen (N) loss. Field studies planted to maize were ...
