Online Weather and Climate Information for Agrometeorologists

Last modified April 01, 2009 13:49

Online Weather and Climate Information for Agrometeorologists contains information about Analysis of Current Conditions (Global and regional monitoring maps provide rainfall information - accumulated rainfall, rainfall anomaly, and rainfall percent of normal) for the past 3hours, 24 hours, 10 days, 30 days, 60 days, and 90 days - and Analytical Tools.

1) Analysis of Current Conditions

Global and regional monitoring maps provide rainfall information (accumulated
rainfall, rainfall anomaly, and rainfall percent of normal)for the past 3
hours, 24 hours, 10 days, 30 days, 60 days, and 90 days.

2) Analytical Tools

a) Rainfall
The Agriculture Online Visualization and Analysis System (AOVAS) and The TRMM
Online Visualization and Analysis System (TOVAS) are two powerful tools that
provide users a wide variety of data products and analytical functions for
global and regional rainfall analysis.

TOVAS: http://disc2.nascom.nasa.gov/Giovanni/tovas/

b) Land Surface
The following tools provide global and regional land surface information, such
as, land surface temperature, enhanced vegetation index, etc.
