Development of stochastic modeling systems using deterministic models and GIS: Principles and a case study in the Atlantic Zone of Costa Rica Development of stochastic modeling systems using deterministic models and GIS: Principles and a case study in the Atlantic Zone of Costa Rica
The most important requirements for large-area environmental modeling are a tight integration between models and data, and a close match of the spatial scale at which the model is developed with the scale at which the model is to be applied. To better match the scale of data with that of the model, we propose a set of principles for the development of stochastic modeling systems based on...

Deriving annual integrated NDVI greenness at 30 m spatial resolution Deriving annual integrated NDVI greenness at 30 m spatial resolution
Temporal greenness matrics have been found useful for characterizing vegetation phenology, and have been used to discriminate vegetation cover types and to estimate key vegetation attributes including percent cover and green biomass. So far, however, such matrics have been calculated only from coarse resolution satellite data. Intermediate spatial resolution satellites like Landsat...

StreamStats: a U.S. geological survey web site for stream information StreamStats: a U.S. geological survey web site for stream information
The U.S. Geological Survey has developed a Web application, named StreamStats, for providing streamflow statistics, such as the 100-year flood and the 7-day, 10-year low flow, to the public. Statistics can be obtained for data-collection stations and for ungaged sites. Streamflow statistics are needed for water-resources planning and management; for design of bridges, culverts, and flood...
