Where this is measured

Farm location

The forecast point used across this page. Open-Meteo resolves to roughly a 1–11 km grid cell, so these figures describe the valley rather than any single bed.

Hourly detail

Through the day

Solar radiation drives photosynthesis and tells us what a future array could harvest; rainfall and humidity tell us what the beds are actually getting. The three share a time axis but keep their own scales — forcing millimetres and watts onto one axis would invent a relationship that isn't in the data.

GHI = global horizontal irradiance · DNI = direct normal irradiance (measured perpendicular to the sun). Figures are modelled forecast values, not on-site instrument readings.

On-farm instrumentation

Everything above is modelled from regional forecast data. These two panels are reserved for hardware physically installed at Alazán.

Live webcam

A fixed camera over the Phase 2 tree rows, so anyone can watch the system fill in through the season. Drop an MJPEG, HLS or RTSP-to-HLS stream URL in here and it goes live.

On-farm sensors

Ground-truth readings from the beds themselves — the numbers that tell us whether the biomass strategy is actually moving the soil.
