Production of such datasets faces many challenges, from station data ingest to gridded dataset distribution. The quality of the dataset is directly related to its information content, and each step in the production process provides an opportunity to maximize that content. The first opportunity is maximizing station density from a variety of sources and assuring high quality through intensive screening, including manual review. To accommodate varying data latency times, the Parameter-Elevation Regressions on Independent Slopes Model (PRISM) Climate Group releases eight versions of a day’s precipitation grid, from 24 h after day’s end to 6 months of elapsed time. The second opportunity is to distribute the station data to a grid using methods that add information and minimize the smoothing effect of interpolation. We use two competing methods, one that util...

Research paper thumbnail of Development of a New USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map for the United States

In the United States, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Plant Hardiness Zone Map (PHZM) is the primary reference for defining geospatial patterns of extreme winter cold for the horticulture and nursery industries, home gardeners, agrometeorologists, and plant scientists. This paper describes the approaches followed for updating the USDA PHZM, the last version of which was published in 1990. The new PHZM depicts 1976–2005 mean annual extreme minimum temperature, in 2.8°C (5°F) half zones, for the conterminous United States, Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. Station data were interpolated to a grid with the Parameter-Elevation Regressions on Independent Slopes Model (PRISM) climate-mapping system. PRISM accounts for the effects of elevation, terrain-induced airmass blockage, coastal effects, temperature ...

Research paper thumbnail of Seasonal Patterns of Root Physiology and Dynamics of Vitis vinifera cv . Merlot on Two Rootstocks under Different Levels of Irrigation

Box 31, Prosser, WA 99350. [Fax: 509-786-1166; email: jordanf@hoguecellars.com] The impact of different closure types on the analytical and sensory properties of wines has been the subject of much conjecture, but little has been quantified. This study explores the effects of time on commercial Chardonnay and Merlot wines stored with five different closures: natural cork, two synthetic cork stopper alternatives, and two screw-cap closure liners. We commenced with the hypothesis that there would be no discernable difference among closure treatments. Descriptive analysis was conducted at the winery with an expert panel of production staff members in three series of tastings over 12 months. The final session, December 2003, represented 30 months of ...
