Climate Assessment for the Southwest (CLIMAS)

CLIMAS —housed at the University of Arizona's (UA) Institute of the Environment—is a collaboration between UA and New Mexico State University. The CLIMAS team is made up of experts from a variety of social, physical, and natural sciences who all work with partners across the Southwest to develop sustainable answers to regional climate challenges.

Climate Science Application Program (CSAP)

Climate Science Application Program (CSAP) focuses on bringing climate science research and applications to the people of the state of Arizona and the broader Southwest region including New Mexico, southern California, and northern Mexico.

Southwest Climate Podcasts

Zack Guido, UA Research and Mike Crimmins, UA Extension Specialist collaborate on monthly Southwest Climate Podcast The show breaks down regional forecasts, weather events and climate patterns for non-experts.events and emergent research in near real time, while the special series focus permits a closer look at issues of particular relevance.

AZMET - Arizona Meteorological Network

The Arizona Meteorological Network (AZMET) provides meteorological data and weather-based information to agricultural and horticultural interests operating in southern and central Arizona. Meteorological data is collected from a network of automated weather stations located in both rural and urban production settings.

Rainlog.org

Rainlog.org is a cooperative rainfall monitoring network for Arizona. Data collected through this network will be used for a variety of applications, from watershed management activities to drought planning at local, county, and state levels.

Better Coverage of Arizona's Weather and Climate

Gridded Datasets of Daily Surface Meteorological Variables. Many areas that use agricultural and environmental science for management and planning often need historical records of daily weather for activities that range from modeling forage production to determining the frequency of freezing temperatures or heavy rainfall.

Arizona and the North American Monsoon System

Arizona receives most of its annual precipitation in two distinct seasons, winter and summer. Winter precipitation is produced by large-scale surface low pressure systems that traverse the Southwest, drawing in moisture from the Pacific Ocean.

Droughtview

Keeping an Eye on Drought: Satellite-based Drought Monitoring and Assessment. website uses remote sensing imagery – which takes a vegetation picture of the earth’s surface, and then takes that satellite information to allow users to actually view surface greenness.
