🛰️ Satellite Data for Nectar Flow Forecasting and Weather Alerts

Interactive 3D landscape overlay where users scrub through simulated satellite vegetation-index data and watch predicted nectar flow windows and weather-alert flags update across a bloom calendar.

Ecology & Conservation Biology3DModerate60 FPS

Scrub through a simulated season of satellite vegetation-index (NDVI) readings over a 3D landscape and watch bloom patches, a live nectar-flow estimate, and a 30-day bloom calendar with weather-alert flags respond in real time.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

Each land patch has its own simulated bloom curve; tile colour tracks NDVI from bare soil through green to a bright bloom flush, and flow forecasts are discounted sharply on days flagged as weather alerts, mirroring real precision-apiculture data pipelines.

🎮 How to Use

Drag the day slider or press Play to time-lapse a season. Adjust storm probability, the hive's forage radius, and the bloom NDVI threshold, then read the mean NDVI, forecast flow, and calendar board for the next 30 days.

💡 Did You Know?

Operational nectar-flow services blend satellite NDVI time series with weather forecasts and historic crop-bloom phenology so beekeepers get a multi-day warning before a major flow starts or a washout kills it.
