Solar Insolation Ranges

Description

Estimated Daily Solar Insolation, in ranges of 50 calories/sq.cm./day (A higher solar insulation number means more sun exposure). These maps are based on extrapolation of a limited number of data points and should be used as a general first-cut illustration of irradiance. They were originally intended to simply distinguish between “sunny” areas and “cloudy” areas.

808 Planner

The Oʻahu Resource Conservation and Development Council (ORCD) in collaboration with the City and County of Honolulu’s Office of Economic Revitalization (CCH-OER) present practical strategies for the agricultural and forestry sectors to adapt to climate change and extreme weather events.

We’ve developed the “808 Planner” tool to fulfill a part of our shared mission. This interactive map allows users to draw an area of interest and quickly obtain a summary of environmental characteristics, such as: administrative boundaries, climate, elevation, hazards, land use, and soils.

This tool aims to assist:

  • Agricultural Extension Services
  • Farmers
  • Landowners
  • Researchers
  • The General Public
