WRF Hindcast
WRF Hindcast Project This project generates the data used in the Grow Degree Calculator and the Soil Moisture Estimator projects. Climate data is currently calculated at a 3km pixel resolution, in effect simulating a weather station every 3 kilometers.

Sectors
The area modeled by the WRF program is called a "domain", but since this implementation uses three domains (at 30km, 10km, and 3.3km resolution) the area of interest, the third domain, is called a "sector". Each sector is made up of 171x171 "pixels", with each pixel 3.3km x 3.3km in size. In effect, the WRF output simulates a weather station at each location pixel. Each pixel's data is then accessible by client programs by indicating latitude and longitude coordinates.
The image to the right shows which sectors are currently active, in green.
