Colorado Climate Center 2020 Available Plant Water Project: Developing Regularly Updated High-Resolution Soil Moisture Maps for the Intermountain West
NIDIS-Supported Research
Main Summary
This project is working to create maps that show how much of the water in the soil is available for plant use. The researchers plan to enhance currently weekly monitoring of surface conditions by developing new soil moisture products using Western Land Data Assimilation Data (WLDAS).
