Agricultural Meteorology Programme (AgMP), 100. Impact of the Use of Meteorological and Climatological Data on Fisheries and Aquaculture
There are two sections of this report. The first section gives an overview of the relationship between climate and fisheries and aquaculture in China and Vietnam. Specifically, the first section elaborates on the distribution of various freshwater and saltwater aquatic resources, the various climate related issues involved in aquaculture such as raising fish in pools, prawn farming, pearl farming, and harvesting open-water and artificially-raised fish, and the transportation and processing of aquatic products. The section concludes by discussing the various climatic problems with aquaculture a ...

Agricultural Meteorology Programme (AgMP), 101. Impacts of Desertification and Drought and Other Extreme Meteorological Events
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; Gringof I.G.; Mersha E.; et al. - WMO, 2006 (WMO/TD-No. 1343)The report starts with an overview of the desertfication and drought and then summarizes the assessment of desertification, drought And other extreme meteorological events. Next, the report gives an overview of the implementation of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) and methods to mitigate the effects of drought. In conjuction with this chapter, the Annex provides a summary of the National Action Programme for India. Then, the report summarizes the actions to be taken by the National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHS) for the UNCCD. There i ...
Commission for Agricultural Meteorology (CAgM): The First Fifty Years
This brochure, prepared with input from two past presidents of CAgM, Wolfgang Baier and Kees Stigter, and the present president, Ray Motha, presents a fascinating summary of CAgM’s work over the past 50 years and I wish to thank them for their input. Sadly, Mr Baier passed away soon after submitting his contribution to this brochure and CAgM will remember his very act ive role in the Commission over the years.
Drought Monitoring and Early Warning: Concepts, Progress, and Future Challenges
Drought is an insidious natural hazard characterized by lower than expected or lower than normal precipitation that, when extended over a season or longer period of time, is insufficient to meet the demands of human activities and the environment. Drought is a temporary aberration, unlike aridity, which is a permanent feature of climate. Seasonal aridity, that is, a well-defined dry season, also needs to be distinguished from drought, as these terms are often confused or used interchangeably. The differences need to be understood and properly incorporated in drought monitoring and early warnin ...
AGM, 09. Strengthening Operational Agrometeorological Services at the National Level : proceedings

Vigilancia y alerta temprana de la sequía: conceptos, progresos y desafíos futuros
La sequía es un fenómeno perjudicial y subrepticio que se produce a raíz de niveles de precipitación inferiores a lo esperado o a lo normal y que, cuando se prolonga durante una estación o durante períodos más largos, hace que las precipitaciones sean insuficientes para responder a las demandas de la sociedad y del medio ambiente. La sequía es una aberración transitoria y en ello se diferencia de la aridez, que es una característica permanente del clima. La aridez estacional, es decir, una estación seca claramente demarcada, es también distinta de la sequía, aunque frecuentemente existe una co ...
CAgM Report, 95. User requirements for satellite and other remote-sensing information in the field of agricultural meteorology

Agricultural Meteorology Programme (AgMP), 95. User Requirements for Satellite and Other Remote-Sensing Information in the Field of Agricultural Meteorology
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; Diagne G.B.; Labo M.; et al. - WMO, 2004 (WMO/TD-No. 1230)This report presents the current remote sensing technology that is applicable to the field of agricultural meteorology. The information presented is applicable for monitoring and assessment of agricultural crops and grasslands and their impact on agricultural production at regional and national levels. The remote sensing technology is accessible to both developed and developing countries and the cost for acquiring the imageries and data from orbiting and geostationary satellite systems have been reduced over the past decade. Some of the imagery is now available without cost to the global user ...

AGM, 06. Servicios de Informatión y Predictión del Clima (SIPC) y Aplicaciones Agrometeorológicas para los Países Andinos : actas de la Reunión Téchnia
Al tratar el tema de la estrecha relación entre el clima y el desarrollo de cultivos y pastos, se destaca la variabilidad y el cambio climático como factores que pueden incidir dramáticamente en la producción agropecuaria. De ahí la importancia de contar no solo con el conocimiento de las particularidades de estos en la región, sino también de disponer de información oportuna sobre el desarrollo presente y futuro de los procesos climáticos. Para los países andinos, cuya economía en una alta proporción (en promedio en cerca del 32%) depende de la agricultura, es de gran importancia disponer de ...
