NASA GPM-IMERG: The Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM (IMERG) algorithm combines information from the GPM satellite constellation to estimate precipitation over the majority of the Earth's surface.  

The Fire Information for Resource Management System (FIRMS) US/Canada is a joint effort by NASA and the U.S. Forest Service to provide access to low latency satellite imagery and science data products from earth observation system satellite assets.

The Multi-Radar Multi-Sensor System combines data streams from multiple radars, satellites, surface observations, upper air observations, lightning reports, rain gauges, and numerical weather prediction models to produce a suite of decision-support products every two minutes.

The Navajo Nation Drought Severity Evaluation Tool (DSET) is a co-developed cloud-based web application designed to meet the needs of water resource managers from the Navajo Nation, improving drought reporting and management.

The ACF River Basin Drought and Water Dashboard is a web-based application that allows decision makers to view real-time information on the ACF River Basin all in one place. 

The Keetch-Byram Drought Index (KBDI) assesses the likelihood of wildfires becoming large and difficult to contain by representing the net effect of evapotranspiration and precipitation in producing cumulative moisture deficiency in deep duff and upper soil layers. 

Crop-CASMA  is a web-based geospatial application that provides access to high-resolution data from NASA SMAP and MODIS missions to map soil moisture and crop vegetation conditions across the United States.
