Climate Summary Maps
The Climate Summary Maps are produced daily using data from the Applied Climate Information System (ACIS). Stations used are from the National Weather Service Cooperative Observer Network (COOP) and the Automated Weather Data Network (AWDN). Maps include total precipitation, precipitation departure from normal, precipitation percent of normal, average temperature, temperature departure from normal, heating degree days, heating degree days departure from normal, cooling degree days, cooling degree days departure from normal, and standardized precipitation index (SPI).

Average Monthly Precipitation
Climate Atlas Maps
The High Plains Climate Atlas is composed of a series of maps with various climatic variables being represented. In most instances, 50 years of data were used to comprise the atlas. Maps include mean maximum temperature, mean minimum temperature, precipitation thresholds, last spring freeze, first fall freeze, growing degree days (base 50), total precipitation, total snowfall, heating degree days, and cooling degree days.

Historical Climate Data Summaries
The Historical Climate Data Summaries list summarized data, normals, and extremes for National Weather Service Cooperative Observer Network (COOP) station. Data include daily extreme and average temperature, precipitation, snowfall, and snow depth, monthly average temperatures, monthly average precipitation, monthly total precipitation, spring freeze probabilities, fall freeze probabilities, and heating, cooling, and growing degrees. Data are available for the following states: CO, IA, KS, MN, MO, MT, ND, NE, SD, and WY.

Latent Heat Flux Instrumentation
Latent Heat Flux
Energy consumed in the process of evapotranspiration (Latent Heat Flux, LE) was measured as part of year-round measurements of ecosystem-level fluxes of CO2, water vapor and energy in three major cropping systems: (a) irrigated continuous maize (US-Ne1), (b) irrigated maize-soybean rotation (US-Ne2), and (c) rainfed maize-soybean rotation (US-Ne3). Our study sites are part of AmeriFlux (the Carbon Flux Network of the Americas). These data as well as supporting meteorological and biological variables are available.

ET Estimation
Regional ET Estimation with CREMAP
SNR hydrologist Joe Szilagyi has developed a technique he calls "Calibration-Free Evapotranspiration Mapping" -- CREMAP -- to calculate rates of evapotranspiration. It uses standard meteorological variables as well as data from MODIS, a NASA satellite that provides information on the temperature of the earth’s surface. With the help of regional-scale actual and wet-environment evapotranspiration estimates, the land surface temperature values are turned into spatially distributed evapotranspiration rates.
