What is the field-level indicator & how do you calculate it?
What is it?
The field-level indicator is the average value of all indicator values of sensor stations contained within a particular field.
For example, let's say we have a field with 3 sensors & the following individual soil moisture readings:
- -5
- -8
- -8
The field-level indicator would be the average of the 3 sensor readings, -7.
(5+8+8) / 3
21 / 3 = 7
Where is it on the Dashboard?
The field-level indicator is located on the Field page of the Dashboard. It is the value contained in the colored circle associated with each field. In the example below, the field-level indicator is -5, which is considered Wet.
