| Water runoff on land surfaces |
| When the land surface is saturated from too much precipitation or is impermeable, water runs off the surface and downhill/stream. This model data was developed by a partnership between NOAA, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, and the University of Maryland ESSIC, and was intially visualized for use on the Science on a Sphere and Magic Planet.
The downloadable MPEG-4 H.264 file shows a sequence of monthly mean total runoff (mm/day) images from March 2000 - February 2009, along with a color scale and timebar. |
