Import ClearAg Weather Data

Import ClearAg Weather Data

ARM supports directly importing weather through the DTN ClearAg weather service. The ARM weather grid includes historical and current weather information and soil data to record for ARM trials.
 

Why did ARM weather integration begin with ClearAg?

GDM began working with ClearAg based on a recommendation from one of our corporate clients. ClearAg is a global source for current and historical weather data. Their available Weather APIs could be effectively integrated into ARM, providing a very convenient way to directly load historical weather information into ARM trials. See Improve Field Trials with ClearAg Premium Weather and Soil Content (pdf) for more information.
 

GDM does not provide a subscription to ClearAg, how can I obtain a subscription to ClearAg weather API to use with ARM?

Request information from ClearAg at: https://www.dtn.com/ClearAg-ARM-Premium
 

Who will answer my questions about ClearAg weather subscriptions, pricing, and ClearAg product capabilities?

Connect with Mirus

  • Export a single trial or entire field map to HarvestMaster Mirus software, providing treatment randomization and plot arrangement information for use with HarvestMaster Harvest Data Systems, research sprayers, and other research equipment. Recorded data can then be imported back into ARM for analysis.
  • See Connecting ARM with HarvestMaster Mirus (pdf) for more information.
  • Tip: If ARM is not installed on the same computer as Mirus, create the following folders on your ARM computer so that ARM can import and export Mirus files:
    C:\HarvestMaster\Mirus
