ETDI distributes the product through Weather Express, Inc., in Omaha, Nebraska. This seemingly complicated distribution network currently contacts more than 160,000 customers. KBS and KARS re pleased and excited about The Green report, which has received both national and international attention as the first of several remote sensing products now under development in our laboratories. Normally, these maps are distributed in color. Dark gray areas indicate healthy, growing vegetation.
Lighter colors are areas where the vegetation is less healthy or more sparse.
A weather map is a kind of patchwork quilt. Some of the patches show where it's supposed to rain, snow, or ice up on a given day. Others predict temperature. Imagine, instead, a map of the nation that shows the relative greenness of vegetation, reflecting plant vigor. Such a map might reveal where row crops are reaching a lush pea or where drought is scarring the land.
