MONITORING THE EXCHANGE OF MOISTURE BETWEEN THE LAND AND ATMOSPHERE TO
IMPROVE OUR UNDERSTANDING OF DROUGHT



Webinar date/time: March 21; 3:00pm  ET



Duration: 1 hour



What will you learn?

Accurate information on the atmospheric evaporative demand (i.e., thirst of
the atmosphere) and the land-surface evaporative response (i.e., moisture
supply on the land to meet the evaporative demand) is extremely important
to assessing water stress on the land surface. In this webinar, the
presenters will introduce real-time high resolution (1-10km) monitoring
products of atmospheric evaporative demand and land-surface evaporative
response models that are currently available to users. They will also
discuss the physical relationships between these systems, as well as the
potential of the monitoring products discussed above to markedly improve
scientists and managers understanding of drought processes (i.e., onset,
evolution, persistence and dissipation), and develop a more robust drought
early warning framework. Join the webinar to learn more about the science
and impacts of ecological drought!



Presenters:

Gabriel Senay, U.S. Geological Survey

Imtiaz Rangwala, National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration



**NOTE: Video recordings with closed captioning are made available
approximately 2 weeks after each presentation.



Webinar is free of charge, but registration is required.
