For the implementation of the Common Agricultural Policy, the European Commission needs timely
information on the agricultural production to be expected in the current season. This is a main
concern of the MARS-project (Monitoring Agriculture through Remote Sensing techniques). The MARS
project is one of the projects of the Directorate General Joint Research Center (JRC) of the European Commission in Ispra (Italy).
This extranet site offers wide variety of information about the current agricultural season
in Europe and other important agricultural areas in the world. Available products include:
maps of weather indicators based on observations and numerical weather models
maps and time profiles of crop indicators based on agro-meteorological models
maps of vegetation indices and cumulated dry matter based on remote sensing images
