The Effects of Great Plains Irrigation on the Surface Energy Balance, Regional Circulation, and Precipitation

Irrigation provides a needed source of water in regions of low precipitation. Adding water to a region that would otherwise see little natural precipitation alters the partitioning of surface energy fluxes, the evolution of the planetary boundary layer, and the atmospheric transport of water vapor....
