Tracking Groundwater Change in the Santa Cruz AMA with the Arizona Water Observatory
In this tutorial, you’ll explore groundwater conditions in the Santa Cruz Active Management Area (AMA) using data available through the Arizona Water Observatory (AWO). We begin by retrieving the Santa Cruz AMA boundary, then identify groundwater wells within the AMA and retrieve depth-to-water observations for each well. Finally, we compare annual median groundwater levels with those…

Exploring Arizona’s Snowpack–Streamflow Connection with the Arizona Water Observatory
In this tutorial, we demonstrate how the Arizona Water Observatory (AWO) can be used to follow the movement of water through a watershed in Arizona. We begin with snowpack observations from a SNOTEL station in the San Francisco Peaks, then identify the watershed that receives the snowmelt. Next, we retrieve watershed-averaged soil moisture data from NASAʼs Soil Moisture…

Atmosphere Publication
A new publication in the journal Atmosphere (Huang et al., 2026) used the Aurora AI weather forecasting model to provide reliable deterministic guidance within 7 days for a series of different types of extreme events. These findings are importance for numerical weather prediction at short-to-medium range. Congratulations to the authors associated with the Center for…

How ASU researchers are measuring what really cools Arizona cities
At ASU’s Center for Hydrologic Innovations, the city itself is the laboratory. The center’s work takes researchers into parks, neighborhoods and other urban spaces, where lawns, trees and the built environment become part of an experiment unfolding across one of the hottest metropolitan regions in the country. Congratulations to the researchers from the Center for Hydrologic…
