This study is centered around the analysis of rainfall and streamflow data collected from a watershed located within the Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge.

Thanks to a new federal law, cities will get better forecasts about how climate change intensifies rainstorms. Still, it won't be in time for billions of dollars of federal infrastructure spending.

This hypothesis had been challenged in 2008 by analysis of a long timeseries of rainfall data in the Netherlands.

Rainfall data collected by a network of radars operated by the National Weather Service will be integrated into an application that helps farmers forecast corn yields throughout the growing process.

The analysis found that climate change probably increased rainfall intensity by 50 to 75 percent during monsoon season.
