A Global Agroclimatology Solar Insolation and Meteorological Parameter Data Base: Meteorological Evaluation and Application Updates to NASA POWERNASA’s Prediction of Worldwide Energy Resource (POWER) project facilitates the use of NASA Earth Science data holdings within the energy, agricultural, and architectural industries. POWER packages solar and meteorological data at various temporal levels from several NASA projects in a user friendly GIS-enabled web services system (https://power.larc.nasa.gov). Among other possible formats, data users can request POWER data in a column formatted DSSAT ASCII format by entering single site-specific coordinates or from an area by entering the appropriate area coordinate bounds.

We present here recent evaluations of the POWER meteorological data through comparisons with global surface site measurements. While most meteorological parameters are taken from the NASA Modern Era Retrospective-analysis for Research and Applications (MERRA-2) data set, an alternate precipitation source from Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM (IMERG) is available and included in this evaluation.

Expected updates to both IMERG and solar insolation sources will be evaluated as they become available.
