Agricultural weather data

Crop specific global weather data for agricultural use, such as soil and crop temperature, leaf wetting and leaf wetting period, wind at crop height and crop evaporation. The data can be retrieved by entering a latitude and longitude, crop, crop stage, soil type and initial soil moisture percentage. The model that underlies this is a two-component model of Deardorf.

Output is given in: json, xml or csv.
