1. Using NASA’s Precipitation Data for Global Crop Production AnalysisNASA’s precipitation products have been incorporated into USDA Foreign Agricultural Service’s global crop production analysis to determine impacts on agricultural yields and vegetation health. Due to high resolution of the data, GPM (IMERG) products are used as a precipitation reference data source to develop weekly, 10-day, monthly, and 3-month precipitation data sets at USDA/FAS/IPAD.

IPAD assessments are an integral component of the monthly crop assessments issued by USDA's World Agricultural Outlook Board - a primary source for agricultural information worldwide (USDA FAS).
