Management strategies in agriculture and forestry for mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions and adaptation to climate variability and climate change : report of the CAgM-XII Working Group
This report presents examples of the impacts of adaptation strategies required for reducing vulnerability of agriculture and forestry to climate variability and climate change. It also presents information on the impacts of the conversion of forests into crop and rangelands and also examples of the impact of management strategies to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions from agroecosystems.

Climate variability, agriculture and forestry: Towards sustainability
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; Desjardins R.L.; Janzen H.; et al. - WMO, 2002 (WMO-No. 928)This publication discusses the main causes of global climate variation and the direct effects of changes in atmospheric composition. Examples of increasing the adaptability of agriculture to climate variability are given, and management strategies to reduce the production of greenhouse gases from agriculture are discussed.
Methods of interpretating numerical weather prediction output for aeronautical meteorology (WMO-No. 770) : by the CAeM Working Group on Advanced techniques applied to aeronautical meteorology
This publication was deemed obsolete by the Commission for Aeronautical Meteorology at its sixteenth session (CAeM-16) (24–27 July 2018) and has therefore been discontinued.
This Technical Note details current methods of interpreting numerical weather prediction output from global, regional and mesoscale models for aeronautical meteorology. It also describes methods of forecasting weather elements by statistical processing and discusses the emergence of artificial intelligence techniques.
Climate variability, agriculture and forestry: an update
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; Desjardins R.; Jones M.B.; et al. - WMO, 1997 (WMO-No. 841)This report complements and updates Technical Note No. 196 (WMO-No. 802) and covers the impact of the following on agriculture and forestry: climate extremes, with emphasis on temperature extremes, drought and tropical cyclones; climate variability for the different main world agroclimatic zones; and the impact of agriculture and forestry on climate through trace gas emissions, as well as the sources and sinks of greenhouse gases.
Agrometeorology of grass and grasslands for middle latitudes
This report gives examples of how climate controls the composition and functioning of grassland, both natural and developed; discusses the response of the grassland to climate at the level of the plant and plant community and the interaction between climate and animals; concentrates on Eurasian and New Zealand grasslands; and reviews only grasslands used for pastoral agricultural development where human food is plant-derived via grazing of animals.
The effect of temperature on the citrus crop
Temperature is the most important climatic determinant of citriculture. Citrus trees are threatened by frost and freeze hazards as well as by high temperatures. This report is mainly confined to temperature effects on citrus crop and includes a list of a wide range of references.
Climate variability, agriculture and forestry : report of the CAgM-IX Working group on the study of climate effects on agriculture including forests, and of the effects of agriculture and forest on climate
Covers for example: principles of the effects of climate variability on agriculture and forests; impacts of climate variability on agriculture and forestry; agricultural and forestry applications and climate variability; the effects of greenhouse gas warming on agriculture and forestry and the effects of agriculture and forests on climate.

Measurement of temperature and humidity : specification, construction, properties and use of the WMO reference psychrometer
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; Lalas Theo; Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) - WMO, 1992 (WMO-No. 759)This publication serves as a specification for the design and construction of the WMO Reference Psychrometer. It describes how it must be operated in the laboratory and in the field to obtain measurements of air temperature and humidity with very high accuracy. A set of working drawings is included.
Meteorology and grain storage
Updated and revised, the publication covers biological characteristics of food grains and of associated organisms; physical characteristics of grains in bulk; preparation of seed grains for storage; conditioning of grain in bulk during storage; instruments and monitoring procedures. Selected bibliography.
Land management in arid and semi-arid areas
This report is intended to provide basic information for meteorologists, agriculturists, pasture and livestock managers and others working in arid and semi-arid areas. It identifies the meteorological factors that influence land-use and management decisions and makes proposals and recommendations for further study and the monitoring of agrometeorological aspects of land management in arid and semi-arid areas.
Agroclimatology of the sugar-cane crop
A report compiled on the basis of a survey of the literature and of material obtained from the replies to a questionnaire from 43 sugar-cane producing countries. It constitutes the work of the Rapporteur on the Agrometeorology of the Sugarcane Crop, appointed by CAgM at its eighth session, to determine the effect of climate on the growth, development and yield of the sugar-cane crop.
Weather, climate and animal performance
The eighth session of the Commission for Agricultural Meteorology (Geneva 1983) stressed the need to investigate the role played by weather-based decisions in the management and economics of livestock production. A rapporteur (Dr J. Starr, UK) was appointed to document the role of meteorology in animal performance: this volume constitutes his report.
Agrometeorological aspects of operational crop protection : (report of the Working group on agrometeorological aspects of operational crop protection of the Commission for Agricultural Meteorology)
This report provides a general description of the meteorological influences on plant diseases, insect and weed pests, pesticides and the consequent requirements for meteorological data in operational schemes. The results of a questionnaire on the production and dissemination of crop protection information, which had been sent to all Members, form the basis of the next section followed by a chapter on the economic benefits to be gained from the use of agrometeorological information.
Applications of meteorology to atmospheric pollution problems
A summary of the main activities in air pollution meteorology followed by a chapter on air quality management, which describes, inter alia, the concept of background air pollution and a system for evaluation of air pollution processes on various space scales. The Note then reviews the meteorological information, network and data-processing requirements for the operational evaluation of air pollution, and the characteristics and use of models.
