When integrated with state-of-the-science process models, these novel data products have the potential to provide useful information for applications in agriculture management, drought assessment, irrigation planning, and hydrological (e.g. streamflow) assessments. This study investigates the value of integrating these new multi-sensor gridded data products for hindcasting and prediction of regional-scale crop yield, irrigation demand, monitoring of agricultural drought, and hydrological flows.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Integrated Assessment of Multi-Sensor Gridded Data Products for Agricultural and Hydrological Applications"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2018-11-26 17:46:48","changed_gmt":"2018-11-26 17:46:48","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2018-12-03T18:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2018-12-03T20:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2018-12-03T20:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2018-12-03 23:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2018-12-04 01:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2018-12-04 01:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"100811","name":"Phd Defense"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
