Resources

Data and tools used in hydrology related researches: 

• Most of satellite-based hydrology data (e.g. TRMM precipitation, NLDAS landsurface data) can be accessed and anlyzed from GIOVANNI
• Most of remote sensing land data access tools can be found at LPDAAC
• GRACE terrestral water storage anomaly data can be obtained from GRACE Tellus
• GLDAS​ monthly water content for GRACE​​
• Interactive GRACE data visualizatins – CU GRACE Data Portal, CNES/GRGS plotter
• GRACErr: a program for calculating spatially decorrelated errors of GRACE satellite data, written by Dr. Dowd (UGA) and me can be obtained up on request by email
• Meteorological data (e.g., precipitation, air temperature) input for SWAT hydrologic model, including software products can be downloaded from SWAT website
• Automation codes for satellite images processing (awesome to accomplish multiple tasks with multiple files, I mean 1000s, at a time). For MODIS/AMSRE products use MRT tool or HEG​
• Access to gauged data in the US for climatology – NOAA and groundwater and stream flow – USGS​
• PRISM precipitation data (nearly 4 km resolution) for the conterminous US   
• CHIRPS – up to 0.05 Deg resolution Global rainfall data (1981-present)
• Global 30m resolution DEM from ASTER​
