NTSG
The University of Montana's NTSG integrates satellite data and numerical models to study terrestrial processes. Its estimates of evapotranspiration, soil moisture, and water balance help optimize irrigation, manage water resources, and anticipate droughts. These products, used by NASA and the FAO, also support agricultural planning and climate change analysis.
The NTSG (Numerical Terradynamic Simulation Group) is a research group at the University of Montana that combines satellite data and numerical models to study terrestrial processes such as water use, vegetation productivity, and climate impact. In water management, its estimates of evapotranspiration, soil moisture, and water balance enable more efficient irrigation planning, optimized use of water resources, and anticipation of droughts. These products, used by agencies such as NASA and the FAO, also support agricultural planning and the assessment of climate change impacts.
