POL 520/EAS 591 Student Projects

14 Nov 2010 | Teaching Materials

In this class, students were trained in the theory and use of the models and received hands-on experience running CCSM3 via the TeraGrid. A key part of the class is having the students work in interdisciplinary teams (including at least one liberal arts and one College of Science student in each...

POL 520/EAS 591 Great issues: climate and policy

14 Nov 2010 | Courses

The course POL 520/EAS 591, “Great issues: climate and policy”, is designed to better educate students in the use and misuse of modeling across disciplines, so that they will be better builders and consumers of integrated, complex models of coupled human/natural systems in their own careers. More...

Student Projects

14 Nov 2010 | Teaching Materials

The researchers of the DRINET project computed drought prediction data at 75 observation sites in Indiana for each month between December 1889 and December 2007. The model output was used in a student project in Purdue fall 2009 CS 530 (Introduction to Scientific Visualization). The goal of this...

CS530 Introduction to Scientific Visualization

A copula-based joint deficit index for droughts

31 Mar 2010 | Publications | Contributor(s): Rao S Govindaraju

Current drought information is based on indices that do not capture the joint behaviors of hydrologic variables. To address this limitation, the potential of copulas in characterizing droughts from multiplevariables is explored in this study. Starting from the standardized index (SI) algorithm, a...
