Tools Managing Climate Risk in Agriculture
Climate Indicators
Climate tools are based on weather stations and gridded weather data from different sources. They are designed to inform users on current climate conditions and the effects of annual cycles such as the El Niño Southern Oscillation on weather patterns in the Southeastern U.S.A.
