LOCAL and REGIONAL DATASETS

Louisiana AgriClimatic Information System (LAIS)

A system comprised of twenty-six (26) automated stations operated by the Louisiana Agricultural Experiment Station. Includes daily and hourly observations of temperature, precipitation, wind speed and direction, relative humidity, solar radiation, and soil temperature. A specialized dataset is available that includes 1-minute observations of precipitation.
