vs. estimated seasonal baseline

Beanwater Labs compares the current GHI composite against an internally estimated day-of-week moisture baseline derived from proprietary historical calibration. This metric has not been independently verified. Compliance is aware.

Node Network

Global Hydration Node Network

Each node reports: Wetness Index score, humidity, cloud cover, wind speed, 24-hour precipitation, and root-zone soil moisture exposure. Cloud cover, wind speed, and soil moisture are not displayed in the local Wetness Index tool.

Methodology & Sources

Data Architecture

The Global Hydration Index™ uses the same core Wetness Index formula as the local tool — humidity weighting, dew-point scoring, precipitation probability, 24-hour precipitation total, and rain presence bonus — applied to 12 global reference nodes simultaneously.

In addition, the GHI page surfaces four variables not shown in the local tool: cloud cover, wind speed, soil moisture (root-zone exposure), and evapotranspiration (ET₀). These inform the planetary-level derived metrics only and do not affect the per-region WI score.

Relative Humidity, Dew Point, Precip Probability, Precipitation, Rain, Showers Shared with local Wetness Index — core WI formula inputs

Cloud Cover % — "Overcast Pressure" GHI-specific — not shown in local Wetness Index tool

Wind Speed 10m (mph) — "Evaporative Drag Factor" GHI-specific — indicates atmospheric drying potential

Soil Moisture 0–1cm (m³/m³) — "Root-Zone Exposure" GHI-specific — agricultural legume moisture indicator

ET₀ FAO Evapotranspiration (mm/day) GHI-specific — used in Bean-Adjacent Exposure index
