Available sectors for processing are shown in shaded areas. For more information see the 'Sectors' section in our WRF Hindcast wiki page.
Agrineer.org thanks the following open source software providers. Their code made many of the screen graphic elements of our application much easier to accomplish: OpenSeadragon, OpenSeadragonImagingHelper, Knockout, Flot, D3.
The Soil Moisture Estimator couples the
FAO
prescribed method for calculating hourly standard reference
evapotranspiration with the
Sacramento Soil Moisture Accounting
model.
Climate data is derived from the
Weather Research and Forecasting
program calculated on an hourly
basis at 3.3km resolution. Re-analyzed forcing files are used in a
"hindcast" manner.
Numerical calculations use the modeled 3.3km ETo and precipitation data.
The images show these atmospheric surface loads at 3.3km, 10km and 30km
resolutions per pixel. Hover over the images with a mouse to get pixel values.
