  4. Metadata for Indiana Hourly Precipitation Data (NCDC)

    15 May 2012 | Downloads | Contributor(s): Jake R Carlson

    This dataset contains hourly precipitation data from 144 COOP raingagues located in Indiana (NCDC TD3240 dataset). The main purpose of this dataset is to provide for at-site rainfall frequency analysis. Several data processing manners were taken:(1) For nearby stations with non-overlapping...

  5. Metadata for Indiana Stream Flow Data

    15 May 2012 | Downloads | Contributor(s): Jake R Carlson

    The United States Geological Survey (USGS) daily streamflow dataset is the source of this dataset. Streamflow data are subjected to human interference, and therefore data contain both natural and regulated flows. This practice does not cause serious problems in flood frequency analysis (flows are...

  8. New science of climate change impacts on agriculture implies higher social cost of carbon

    22 Nov 2017 | Publications | Contributor(s): Frances C. Moore, Uris Lantz C Baldos, Tom Hertel, Delavane Diaz

    Despite substantial advances in climate change impact research in recent years, the scientific basis for damage functions in economic models used to calculate the social cost of carbon (SCC) is either undocumented, difficult to trace, or based on a small number of dated studies. Here we present...
