Professors Burt and Willmott will generate global precipitation and     temperature fields on the basis of some 30,000 weather stations                 throughout the world.  They will also devise a new method for estimating        evaporation, water transpiration by vegetation, and soil moisture.  The         resulting data will be compared with existing low-resolution climate            data and with predicted values derived from models of the general               circulation of the atmosphere.  Error analysis will be conducted to make        it possible to assign reliability measures to grid point estimates of           values of interest.                                                                     The work conducted with this award will produce values for monthly      soil moisture, precipitation, evapotranspiration, and surface air               temperature for land surfaces on a 0.5 by 0.5 degree latitude and               longitude grid.  Such high-resolution data are needed for verification          of general circulation models.  They are also an important step toward          developing the kinds of macro-scale geographic information system               databases needed for global environmental and ecological analysis.
