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...

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...

Predicting Long Term Food Demand, Cropland Use and Prices

08 Sep 2017 | Publications | Contributor(s): Tom Hertel, Uris Lantz C Baldos, Dominique van der Mensbrugghe

This paper seeks to survey, understand and reconcile the widely divergent estimates of long run global crop output, land use and price projections in the current literature. We begin by reviewing the history of such projections and the different models and assumptions used in these exercises. We...
