Deear Ma'am/Sir:
Good day!
Thank you so much for accepting my request. I would just like to ask if it is possible for me to request for additional information particularly the Daily and Monthly Rainfall and Temperature Data of Ambolong, Batan, Aklan (aside from my previous request: Daily and Monthly Rainfall and Temperature Data of Palay, Batan, Aklan).
Upon mapping the additional coordinates of my study site, I found out that part of it is also covered by barangay Ambolong, Batan. Hence, I also need the above mentioned data for my thesis.
In addition, I would also like to request for the sea surface temperature (SST) and chlorophyll-a concentration data (if available) for Batan, Aklan or any closest area or body of water from Palay and Ambolong, Batan, Aklan.
Please let me know if I have to send a separate request from your office.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
