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 ...

Agricultural Meteorology Programme (AgMP), 90. Agrometeorological Aspects of Organic Agriculture, Urban Agriculture, Indoor Agriculture and Precision Agriculture
There has been a steady change in the nature of food production over the last few years. In all regions of the world there has been a shift towards organic production methods by limited numbers of producers with a view to a more earth-friendly form of production. There has also been a world-wide development of urban agriculture, particularly in regions with rapidly increasing urban populations, and difficulty in deriving maximum benefit from rural resources to feed the urban population. Likewise, the increase in indoor production has been marked over the last decade. Indoor production allows g ...

Agricultural Meteorology Programme (AgMP), 91. Interactions Between Climate and Biological Diversity
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; Korsakova S.; Gringoryan V.; et al. - WMO, 2003 (WMO/TD-No. 1166)The potential impact of climate change on biological diversity is overshadowed by the overwhelming effect of human-induced modifications of terrestrial ecosystems that are responsible for major losses in biological diversity. Therefore, it is necessary to discriminate between the more immediate and more obvious effects of habitat modification by humans and the longer-term, more subtle effects of climate change. Despite varying opinion about the nature and extent of the impact of climate change on biological diversity, there is a general agreement that biological diversity will decline worldw ...

Agricultural Meteorology Programme (AgMP), 92. The Impacts of Agrometeorological Application for Sustainable Management of Farming, Forestry and Livestock
During the 12th Session of CAgM held in Accra, Ghana, February 1999, a Working Group on “The impacts of agrometeorological applications for sustainable management of farming systems, forestry and livestock” was established. The group was in turn composed of six rapporteurs from different countries. Three members left due to different reasons and one new member (USA) was introduced. The WG Chairman prepared a draft report with the individual submissions from each rapporteur and submitted it to all group members. A joint meeting of WG members in September 2000 (four WG members were present) in G ...

AGM, 02. Early Warning Systems for Drought Preparedness and Drought Management
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; Sivakumar Mannava V.K.; Wood Deborah A. - WMO, 2000 (WMO/TD-No. 1037)Effective drought early warning systems are an integral part of efforts worldwide to improve drought preparedness. Timely and reliable data and information must be the cornerstone of effective drought policies and plans. In pursuit of the goal of improving the effectiveness of drought early warning systems, participants of the experts meeting were asked to address three fundamental questions:
1. What is your assessment of the current status of drought early warning systems?
2. What are the shortcomings, limitations, and needs for drought early warning systems?
3. How ca ...
