H3 Atlas & Reference Assistant
The interactive H3 hexagonal workspace for reference agronomic indices is currently in pre-release calibration. Explore the structure of the 7 reference indices across our 4 pilot agro-ecological regions below.
Agronomic indices are for reference only, derived from FAO-56 formulas and open data. Not weather forecasts or official warnings.

7 reference agronomic indices per H3 cell
- Root-zone soil moisture
m³/m³ (ref)Estimated water available to crop roots, for reference.
soil_moisture_root_zone - Reference evapotranspiration (ET0)
mm/day (FAO-56)Atmospheric water demand by FAO-56 Penman-Monteith, in mm/day; the basis for crop water needs.
et0_mm_day - Growing degree days
°C·day (ref)Accumulated heat, linked to crop development stages.
gdd_accumulated - Saltwater intrusion index
0–1 scale (ref)Reference index of conditions associated with saltwater intrusion.
salinity_risk_index - Frost index
0–1 scale (ref)Reference index of conditions favourable to frost and cold spells.
frost_risk_index - Leaf wetness hours
hours (ref)Hours of wet foliage, associated with fungal disease conditions.
leaf_wetness_hours - Crop stress index
3-colour bandA combined reference signal of heat, water and weather stress on crops.
