Online Weather and Climate Information for Agrometeorologists
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.

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