Soils and soil moisture greatly influence the water cycle and have impacts on runoff, flooding and agriculture. Soil type and soil particle composition (sand, clay, silt) affect soil moisture and the ability of the soil to retain water. Soil moisture is also affected by levels of evaporation and plant transpiration, potentially leading to near dryness and eventual drought.Measuring and monitoring soil moisture can ensure the fitness of your crops and help predict or prepare for flash floods and drought. The GLDAS soil moisture data is useful for modeling these scenarios and others, but only at global scales. Dataset SummaryThe GLDAS Soil Moisture layer is a time-enabled image service that shows average monthly soil moisture from 2000 to the present at four different depth levels. It is calculated by NASA using the Noah land surface model, run at 0.25 degree spatial resolution using satellite and ground-based observational data from the Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS-1). The model is run with 3-hourly time steps and aggregated into monthly averages. Review the complete list of model inputs, explore the output data (in GRIB format), and see the full Hydrology Catalog for all related data and information!What can you do with this layer?This layer is suitable for both visualization and analysis. It can be used in ArcGIS Online in web maps and applications and can be used in ArcGIS Desktop. The GLDAS soil moisture data is useful for modeling, but only at global scales. Time: This is a time-enabled layer. It shows the total evaporative loss during the map's time extent, or if time animation is disabled, a time range can be set using the layer's multidimensional settings.

Melting snowpack is a key part of the spring water budget in many parts of the world. Like a natural reservoir, snowpack stores winter precipitation and releases it as runoff over the course of many months. Where summer rains are scarce snowpack provides crucial base flow without which rivers might go dry. Where summer rains are torrential, this exacerbates the flooding and can lead to the loss of lives. This map contains a historical record showing the water stored in snowpack during each month from March 2000 to the present. It is not a map of snow depth, but of snow water equivalent, which is the amount of water that would be produced if all the snow melted. For fresh snow, this can be anywhere from 5% to 20% the depth of the snow, depending on temperature (snow tends to be fluffier at lower temperatures). As the snow settles and melts, it becomes more dense, up to 40% or 50% in the spring. Temperature, albedo (the reflective property of the snow), density, and volume all affect the melting rate of the snowpack. Additionally, melting rate is influenced by wind, relative humidity, air temperature and solar radiation.Dataset SummaryThe GLDAS Snowpack layer is a time-enabled image service that shows average monthly snowpack from 2000 to present, measured in millimeters of snow water equivalent. It is calculated by NASA using the Noah land surface model, run at 0.25 degree spatial resolution using satellite and ground-based observational data from the Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS-1).

Most of us understand the hydrologic cycle in terms of the visible paths that water can take such as rainstorms, rivers, waterfalls and lakes. However, an even larger volume of water flows through the air all around us in two invisible paths: evaporation and transpiration. These two paths together are referred to as evapotranpsiration (ET), and claim 61% of all terrestrial precipitation. Solar radiation, air temperature, wind speed, soil moisture, and land cover all affect the rate of evapotranspiration, which is a major driver of the global water cycle, and key component of most catchments' water budget. This map contains a historical record showing the volume of water lost to evapotranspiration during each month from March 2000 to the present.Dataset SummaryThe GLDAS Evapotranspiration layer is a time-enabled image service that shows total actual evapotranspiration monthly from 2000 to the present, measured in millimeters of water loss.

When precipitation falls on the surface of the Earth, much of it is captured in storage (e.g. lakes, aquifers, soil moisture, snowpack, and vegetation). Precipitation that exceeds the storage capacity of the landscape becomes runoff, which flows into river systems. Overland flow is the most visible form of runoff, causing erosion and flash floods, but subsurface flow is the larger contributor in many watersheds. Subsurface flow can emerge on the surface through springs, or more commonly, seep into rivers and lakes through their banks. In urban areas, impervious land cover drastically increases the amount of surface runoff generated, which sweeps trash and urban debris into waterways and increases the likelihood and severity of flash floods. In agricultural areas, surface or subsurface runoff can carry excess salts and nutrients, especially nitrogen and phosphorus. This map contains a historical record showing the amount of runoff generated each month from March 2000 to present. It is reported in millimeters, so multiply by a surface area to calculate the total volume of runoff.Dataset SummaryThe GLDAS Runoff layer is a time-enabled image service that shows average monthly runoff from 2000 to the present measured in millimeters. It is calculated by NASA using the Noah land surface model, run at 0.25 degree spatial resolution using satellite and ground-based observational data from the Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS-1).

Climate plays a major role in determining the distribution of plants and animals. Bioclimatology, the study of climate as it affects and is affected by living organisms, is key to understanding the patterns of forests and deserts on the landscape, where productive agricultural lands may be found, and how changes in the climate will affect rare species. This layer is part of the Ecophysiographic Project and is one of the four input layers used to create the World Ecological Land Units Map.Dataset Summary This layer provides access to a 250m cell-sized raster with a bioclimatic stratification. The source dataset was a 30-arcsecond resolution raster (equivalent to 0.86 km2 at the equator or about a 920m pixel size). The layer has the following attributes: Temperature Description - Seven classes based on the number of growing degree days (the monthly mean temperature multiplied by number of days in the month summed for all months). The 1950 to 2000 monthly average temperature was used to calculate growing degree days. Values in this field and associated number of growing degree days are:Temperature DescriptionGrowing Degree DaysVery Hot9,000 – 13,500Hot7,000 – 9,000Warm4,500 – 7,000Cool2,500 – 4,500Cold1,000 – 2,500Very Cold300 – 1,000Arctic0 - 300Aridity Description - Six classes based on an index of aridity calculated by dividing precipitation by evapotranspiration.
