AgACIS provides climatic data for Conservation Planning, accessed through NWS Cooperative Network, SNOTEL, and CSCAN stations. Access examples include Oregon and Colorado. AgACIS examples cover wetlands, precipitation data, seeding, and temperature summaries. The system is not publicly available yet, with plans for broader release and a web service in the future.
