In this difficult economic climate state policy makers are increasingly focused on higher education as an economic development tool. Many rust belt states are looking to transform themselves from a state dependent on manufacturing and agriculture to a more diverse knowledge based economy. Many...

There is growing evidence of escalating pollution threats to groundwater owing to change in mineral phase chemistry arose due to high anthropogenic activities. This manuscript primarily deals with the results of physicochemical parameters in relation to the hydro-geochemistry of groundwater...

Many hydrologic phenomena and applications such as drought, flood, irrigation management and scheduling needs high resolution satellite soil moisture data at a local/regional scale. Downscaling is a very important process to convert a coarse domain satellite data to a finer spatial resolution....

Microwave remote sensing and mesoscale weather models have high potential to monitor global hydrological processes. The latest satellite soil moisture dedicated mission SMOS and WRF-NOAH Land Surface Model (WRF-NOAH LSM) provide a flow of coarse resolution soil moisture data, which may be useful...

Accurate estimation of wind speed is essential for many hydrological applications. One way to generate wind velocity is from the fifth generation PENN/NCAR MM5 mesoscale model. However, there is a problem in using wind speed data in hydrological processes due to large errors obtained from the...

The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model’s Advanced Research WRF (ARW) dynamic solver is one of the most popular regional numerical weather prediction models being used by operational and research personnel. In this study, we simulate a tropical cyclone to reproduce the track direction...
