- Supplemental Information
- The images are made with LocClim that is a FAO software available on: ftp://ext-ftp.fao.org/SD/Upload/Agromet . Crop calendars list information about the number of growing seasons, the planting and harvesting dates, as well as the climatic conditions prevailing during the season. Naturally, the listed values correspond to averages, and the actual dates of farming operations may vary from year to year due to climate, but also to the farmers own traditions, in particular whether the crops are rainfed or irrigated. The average has been calculated within 30 recent years ending in 2000, whenever possible. More information on this data are provided by the Tsunami Reconstruction FAO webside, through the Agroclimatic Data link.
