MODIS Monthly Fog and Low Cloud Cover Rasters 2000-2022
The MODIS Monthly Fog and Low Cloud Cover Rasters 2000-2022 dataset contains fog and low cloud cover (FLCC) observations summarized into days per month along the California and Southern Oregon Coast from 2000-2022. This ... -
Spatially interpolated PM2.5 concentrations for the US for 2021
This dataset contains spatially interpolated daily PM2.5 concentrations observed by monitors in the Environmental Protection Agency's Air Quality System and non-smoke seasonal background PM2.5 estimates for 2021. It is a ... -
Carlsbad Caverns National Park Air Quality Study 2019
Carlsbad Caverns National Park in southeastern New Mexico is adjacent to the Permian Basin, one of the most productive oil and gas regions in the country. The 2019 Carlsbad Caverns Air Quality Study (CarCavAQS) was designed ... -
Data associated with "Assessing Rain Drop Breakup Parameterizations using Disdrometer Observations"
An intercomparison of rain drop mean diameter frequency distribution (RDFD) is performed for numerical simulations of precipitating cloud systems using an array of models and microphysics schemes. This includes results ... -
GREMLIN CONUS2 Dataset
The objective of this research is to develop techniques for assimilating GOES-R series observations in precipitating scenes for the purpose of improving short-term convective-scale forecasts of high-impact weather hazards. ... -
Measurements of volatile organic compounds at two locations in the Northern Colorado Front Range during Spring 2022
This dataset was collected by Colorado State University (CSU) graduate students during the spring 2022 semester as part of a course in the Department of Atmospheric Science (ATS-716: Air Quality Characterization). Measurements ... -
Dataset associated with “Using isotope pool dilution to understand how organic carbon additions affect N2O consumption in diverse soils”
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a formidable greenhouse gas with warming potential ~300x greater than CO2. However, its emissions to the atmosphere have gone largely unchecked because the microbial and environmental controls ... -
Dataset associated with U.S. Apparel Manufacturers Survey
Firms do not continue and prosper purely on their own individual endeavors, as each firm is influenced by the activities of others, and thus direct and indirect relationships shape the firm’s strategic management. These ... -
Supplementary materials associated with “The Transience of Channel-Spanning Logjams in Mountain Streams”
We use 11 years of annual surveys in streams of the Southern Rockies of Colorado, USA to examine the persistence and geomorphic effects of logjams. Each year’s survey includes ~300 logjams along more than 21 km of 4 mountain ... -
Colorado Greenhouse Gas Emission Tool (CO-GT) associated with article “A Colorado-Specific Life Cycle Assessment Model to Support Evaluation of Low-Carbon Transportation Fuels and Policy”
The transportation sector accounts for over 20 percent of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Colorado which without intervention will grow to over 30 million metric tons (MMT) of GHG emissions per year. This study seeks to ... -
Dataset associated with "Artefactual depiction of predator–prey trophic linkages in global soils"
Soil invertebrates contribute to multiple ecosystem services, including pest control, nutrient cycling, and soil structural regulation, yet trophic interactions that determine their diversity and activity in soils remain ... -
Dataset associated with "Land use conversion to agriculture impacts biodiversity, erosion control and key soil properties in an Andean watershed"
The conversion of natural vegetation to agricultural land uses in mountainous Andean landscapes threatens an array of key ecological processes and ecosystem services. In protected areas and buffer regions that provide water ... -
Dataset associated with "Ocean Surface Flux Algorithm Effects on Tropical Indo-Pacific Intraseasonal Precipitation"
Surface latent heat fluxes help maintain tropical intraseasonal precipitation. We develop a latent heat flux diagnostic that depicts how latent heat fluxes vary with the near-surface specific humidity vertical gradient ... -
Dataset associated with "Visions of the Arctic Future: Blending Computational Text Analysis And Structured Futuring to Create Story-based Scenarios"
The future of Arctic social systems and natural environments is highly uncertain. Climate change will lead to unprecedented phenomena in the pan-Arctic region, such as regular shipping traffic through the Arctic Ocean, ...
