Types of Water Resources Data Sample Clauses

Types of Water Resources Data. 2.2.1. Meteorology No two localities on Earth may be said to have exactly the same climate, but widely separated areas of the world can possess similar climates. These climatic regions have some comparable physical and environmental features as well as having similar weather patterns. Climatic regions are differentiated by weather conditions (including temperature, humidity, precipitation type and amount, wind speed and direction, atmospheric pressure, sunshine, cloud types, and cloud coverage), and by weather phenomena (such as thunderstorms, fog, and frost) that have prevailed there over a long period of time, usually 30 years. These weather conditions and phenomena are important data to water resource engineers, meteorologists, and to others. Remote sensing, as used in meteorology, is the concept of collecting data from remote weather events and subsequently producing weather information. These measurements give a snapshot of a variety of weather conditions at one single location and are usually collected at automated gauging stations or as part of daily operations of water resources staff. The measurements taken at meteorological stations can include any number of atmospheric observables; however, the primary focus for water resources analysis involves precipitation and evaporation data, further described below. 2.2.1.1. Precipitation Precipitation is any product of the condensation of atmospheric water vapor that is deposited on the earth's surface. Precipitation that reaches the surface of the earth can occur in many different forms, including rain, freezing rain, drizzle, snow, ice pellets, and hail. Precipitation is a major component of the water cycle, and is responsible for depositing most of the fresh water on the planet. The primary aim of any method of precipitation measurement is to obtain representative samples of the fall over the area to which the measurement refers. There is a critical need in hydrology for accurate measurement of precipitation. Therefore, the choice of equipment and location are important considerations. Direct measurements of precipitation are made by a variety of gauges, all of which have some form of funnel that directs the infalling water to some storage container. Standard types of rain gauges include graduated cylinders, weighing gauges, and tipping bucket gauges. Storage gauges simply store the incident precipitation, and the accumulated water is usually measured on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Recording rai...
