Irrigation in Northeastern Colorado

Coronas and Iridescence in Mountain Wave Clouds over Northeastern Colorado

OCTOBER 2003 AMERICAN METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY | T he interplay of sunlight, moonlight, or anthropogenic light sources with cloud and precipitation particles can produce a wide variety of optical phenomena, some with dazzling arcs and colors, in the sky around us. These naturally occurring patterns of redistributed light, often referred to generally as atmospheric optics, represent an especially ...

Net global warming potential and greenhouse gas intensity in irrigated cropping systems in northeastern Colorado.

The impact of management on global warming potential (GWP), crop production, and greenhouse gas intensity (GHGI) in irrigated agriculture is not well documented. A no-till (NT) cropping systems study initiated in 1999 to evaluate soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration potential in irrigated agriculture was used in this study to make trace gas flux measurements for 3 yr to facilitate a complete...

Water intensity assessment of shale gas resources in the Wattenberg field in northeastern Colorado.

Efficient use of water, particularly in the western U.S., is an increasingly important aspect of many activities including agriculture, urban, and industry. As the population increases and agriculture and energy needs continue to rise, the pressure on water and other natural resources is expected to intensify. Recent advances in technology have stimulated growth in oil and gas development, as w...

Analysis of maize growth for different irrigation strategies in northeastern Spain

Water availability is the key factor determining maize yields in NE Spain. Irrigation is needed to obtain economic yields but it is costly and water supply is sometimes insufficient. The aim of this research was to test a simple simulation model for evaluating different irrigation strategies, especially under water-limited conditions. The LINTUL model was adapted and parameterized using experim...
