TerraFieldAtlas — TerraField Atlas mission console
Earth-observation intelligence for agricultural resilience. See what NASA satellites observe about your land — rainfall, temperature, solar radiation, root-zone moisture, vegetation and fire history — understand whether changes are statistically meaningful, and compare evidence-supported crop-rotation options with every score explainable and every observation traceable to its source.

Live console telemetry
Read from the running system — real database rows and a live provider probe. If a value is missing, it is shown as missing.
The problem
Six questions, answered honestly
Farmers face shifting rainfall patterns, temperature extremes and fire exposure, yet most decision tools either hide their evidence, overstate their certainty, or require data that smallholders do not have. TerraField Atlas takes the opposite stance: it is built around six questions, and refuses to answer any of them beyond what the evidence supports.
How have they changed over time?
Are the changes statistically meaningful?
Which crop rotations fit the evidence?
How do alternatives compare?
What are the limits and uncertainties?
Mission systems
What the console actually does
Six subsystems, each built around a real NASA Earth-observation data source with a deterministic method behind it.
Real meteorological record
12+ years of daily NASA POWER (MERRA-2) precipitation, temperature, humidity, radiation and root-zone wetness for any coordinate — ingested, stored, versioned.
Honest trend detection
Seasonal Mann-Kendall + Theil-Sen with autocorrelation correction, confidence intervals and FDR control. Two different dates never become a "trend".
Satellite map layers
MODIS 250 m daily true color, MOD13Q1 NDVI 16-day composites and SMAP L4 9 km root-zone soil moisture, streamed live from NASA GIBS.
Explainable rotation planning
A deterministic engine scores rotation scenarios against FAO-cited crop requirements and your measured soil. Missing data lowers confidence — never the truth.
Fire history
Real VIIRS 375 m active-fire detections (2015 → present) with confidence and fire radiative power, decoded from NASA GIBS vector tiles.
Provenance for every number
Every external API request — success or failure — is logged with latency, status and retrieval time. Every analysis cites its method.
Source registry
Data-source transparency
Live source registry, refreshed from the running system. Unreachable or unconfigured sources are shown exactly as they are — never silently substituted with fabricated data.

What this product deliberately does NOT claim
- Environmental correlations are never presented as proof of agricultural causation.
- Grid-cell reanalysis is not your farm’s microclimate; 9 km SMAP pixels are not field-scale soil moisture.
- No yield, harvest or profit prediction exists anywhere in the engine.
- Missing measurements reduce confidence; they are never filled with invented values.
