Improved Rainfall Data:
A new research agreement between aWhere and Colorado State University (CSU) will enhance the aWhere Weather platform by providing improved satellite derived daily rainfall data. Through the work of CSU’s Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere, aWhere will be incorporating satellite derived daily rainfall data into the existing platform.
