Satellite Irrigation Management Support [SIMS]

NASA and USGS satellites were used to map crop development and crop water demand throughout California's Central Valley, Central Coast, and North Coast at a spatial resolution of 0.25 acres from 2010 to present. Through this prototype interface, users may view maps and inspect/download time-series trends of selected data layers at user-specified locations.
