Java Newhall Simulation Model (jNSM)

<p>A soil temperature and soil moisture simulation model developed in 2011 in response to a USDA-NRCS need to better understand soil climate in soil survey, the Java Newhall Simulation Model or jNSM is an update to a traditional soil climate simulation model called Newhall Simulation Model (NSM) by Franklin Newhall. The jNSM application takes batch run input in the form of a CSV file (easily created from standard spreadsheets), and also allows interactive input of data comprising a single model run. Output products are displayed on screen and can be saved and printed in PDF format. Output reports include soil moisture and temperature regime classification, biological window calendars and precipitation/potential evapo-transpiration climographs, plus a summary of model inputs and user information.</p> <p>The jNSM software is a mesoscale model that is appropriate for use in regional geospatial analyses that support the MLRA update of published digital soil geographic databases (SSURGO/STATSGO2). This software can be used with monthly, serially complete records from weather stations, Soil Climate Analysis Network (SCAN) stations, and local soil climate monitoring sensors.</p> <p>Such data sources can be used with jNSM to refine soil moisture and temperature regime boundaries to assist in correlation, map soil and temperature regimes with existing vegetation, study orographic and "rain shadow" effects in the soil landscape, and study the change of soil climate through time to help formulate climate change adaptive strategies.</p> <p>The jNSM version 1.5.1 application is a product of the National Cooperative Soil Survey partnership of the Pennsylvania State University (Center for Environmental Informatics) and the USDA-NRCS (National Soil Survey Center - Geospatial Research Unit). </p><div><br>Resources in this dataset:</div><br><ul><li><p>Resource Title: Java Newhall Simulation Model (jNSM).</p> <p>File Name: Web Page, url: <a href="https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/detail/soils/survey/class/?cid=nrcs142p2_053559">https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/detail/soils/survey/class/?cid=nrcs142p2_053559</a> </p><p>A soil temperature and soil moisture simulation model developed in 2011.
