Drought can damage the harvest if it coincides with the growth season of crops. Therefore we are building up archives of meteorology data. These data become available with slight delays with respect to the current day. The extent of the delays depend on a series of factors. In this table we will only state the delay allowing the user of our data services to understand when he can expect new data.
| Data | Frequency | Delay | Remark |
|---|---|---|---|
| Precipitation | Monthly | up to 4 days | Day 4 of the month for the previous month! |
| Standard Precipatation Index SPI of Weather stations in Europe | Monthly | up to 2 days | 6 Hours after arriving of Rainfall data of Weather stations. |
| Standard Precipitation Index of Interpolated grid cells of 25 km for Europe | 10 Days | up to 2 days | 6 Hours after arriving of Rainfall data of day 10, 20 and the last day of the month |
| Heatwaves, Europe | Daily | up to 3 days | Processing every day on data arriving 2 days after event occurred. |
| Heatwaves, World | Daily | up to 6 days | Processing every day on data arriving 6 days after event occured |
| SPI world wide, 1/4 decimal degree | Monthly | up to 6 days | Depends on arriving of ERA5 data |
| fAPAR (fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation) | 10 Days | 7 days after | VIIRS Anomaly based on time series from 2012 to system date minus 1 year |
| Soil Moisture | 10 Days | 3 days | Anomaly based on time series 1995 up to system date minus 1 year |
In January of each year the anomalies for Soil Moisture and fAPAR are reprocessed in order to include the last complete year in the averages and standard deviations. Therefore during January you can experience small variations in values if you visit the site on different days.
