Gridded Ensemble Precipitation and Temperature Estimates for the Contiguous United States

摘要: AbstractGridded precipitation and temperature products are inherently uncertain because of myriad factors, including interpolation from a sparse observation network, measurement representativeness, errors. Generally uncertainty is not explicitly accounted for in gridded or temperature; if it represented, often included an ad hoc manner. A lack quantitative estimates hydrometeorological forcing fields limits the application advanced data assimilation systems other tools land surface hydrologic modeling. This study develops gridded, observation-based ensemble at daily increment period 1980–2012 conterminous United States, northern Mexico, southern Canada. allows estimation modeling through use variance.
