  • Northern Hemisphere Cold Snap January 2010: Yes, it's cold and not just imaginary. The December/January 500mb height animation records the sweeping reaches of this winter's cold air outbreak. (Source: Brian Doty, COLA.   Java viewing must be enabled in browser.)

  • CLPX: the Cold Land Processes eXperiment (CLPX) Mini-Met site located in the Fraser Experimental Forest in Fraser, CO provides real-time information on air temperature, relative humidity, precipitation, wind speed and direction plus other measurable parameters.


  • N.E.W.S. CREW is supporting the NASA Energy and Water cycle Study (NEWS), whose ultimate goal is a breakthrough improvement in energy and water cycle prediction capability.

  • Real-Time Data: CREW has established a portal to visualize real-time water and energy cycle observations and model forecasts; updated daily with current data for global and regional domains. This data archive is also in the process of being restored. Not all data is currently available; we appreicate your patience.

    The Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth's Systems (JAMES) "is an international, open-access, scientific journal for the publication of original and updated research. JAMES maintains high standards of formal peer review, and provides authors the opportunity to participate in an interactive discussion forum. JAMES is committed to removing publication barriers and offers high quality publication services at minimal cost." URL: http://adv-model-earth-syst.org
Featured Project

  • Waternet CREW is developing the NASA Water Cycle Solutions Network (WaterNet), which will improve and optimize the community's ability to identify and harness NASA research results to augment decision support

  • Other water network solutions: Article: NASA Tech Zooms-In on Water and Land. Using satellite imagery along with high-tech modelling programs, decision makers have access to better information sooner.
