Farm Cluster Calculation

Titleā€ƒ Farm Cluster Calculation

Summary

Calculates the MGM soil and climate cluster values for the specified farm area for use in the Farm Portal. The climate clusters represent areas with similar climate properties, and the dataset was created from the National Institude for Water and Atmospheric Research's (NIWA) Virtual Climate Station Network (VCSN) data.The soil clusters reprensent areas of similar soil properties in relation to either Nitrogen or Phosphorus loss. The dataset was created by Landcare Research.


Usage

For MGM use only


Syntax

Parameter Explanation
Areas_of_Interest

Spatial representation of the area for which the cluster units will be determined (typically the farm boudnary).

Clipped_Climate_and_Soil_NLoss_Cluster_Units

Output dataset represents the combination of the soil grouping cluster for nitrogen loss and the climate cluster.

Clipped_Climate_and_Soil_PLoss_Cluster_Units

Output dataset represents the combination of the soil grouping cluster for phosphorus loss and the climate cluster.
