Abstract
This guide introduces users to a recently developed web-based tool on AgroClimate.org that was designed to systematically monitor climate indicators and detect anomalies with the potential to affect the agricultural industry in Florida and elsewhere in the continental United States. Written by Clyde W. Fraisse, Mauricio A. Z. Karrei, and Margaret Walsh, and published by the UF/IFAS Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering, January 2024.
