Data sources

Everything this site presents comes from one of these origins. Where there is measurement, the source, resolution and period are named; where there is estimation, it is said to be an estimate.

From data to conclusion

The sources above give raw measurements. What the site shows is the result of combining them: the stratification groups cells by similarity, the cultivar zoning orders them by temperature corrected for aspect, and the water balance combines evapotranspiration, usable rainfall and pistachio crop coefficients. Each of these steps is a reproducible calculation from source data, not a judgement.
