CAgM Strategic Plan• 2- Develop enhanced services for the agricultural, livestock, forestry,

rangelands and fisheries communities and partner agencies:

Improve quality & quantity of services- Share resources among existing

project and initiatives. GFCS - Pilot projects- Integrate non-NHMS networks

into WIGOS and WIS via National Agromet Station Network initiative.

Climate and weather info as a tool for:

Strategic planning –

GIS-Rs in generating

combined maps

Tactical planning –

improve short-medium

forecast

Improve crop strategies

and protection.

Facilitate early

monitoring systems. Implement strategies for

water & resources

conservation

CAgM Strategic Plan

3- Climate services and development of the climate user interface as part of GFCS;

– Human services including agrometeorological consultation;– Technological applications to communicate information to decision-makers;– Identification of innovative risk-management systems in global food

production;

• 4- Encourage development of knowledge sharing interface between scientists, extension services and the agricultural decision-makers; Encourage sharing of resources among WMO Members and other organizations to create synergies, to support human health and economic development- INSAM – WAMIS

• 5- cooperation with others (FAO, UNCCD, Agric Res Inst….)

The ultimate goal is to bridge the gap between providers and users of weather and climate information. For agriculture, the World AgroMeteorologicalInformation Service (WAMIS) has been developed by CAgM for this purpose.

WAMIS Phase I 2002; Phase II 2010

Resource Delivery Service

WMO OMM

Agroclimatic System

Communication of Information--Needs

• Information for farmers/local decision makers:

-- Relevant, timely and user-friendly

• Advisories on farm management:

-- Planting/harvesting dates , disease spraying,

irrigation scheduling etc.

• Early warning alerts of extreme weather events

• Improved short-term to long-range outlook for agriculture

• Media reporting (telephone, newspaper, radio, TV, mail,

Internet) of forecasts, early-alert warnings and advisories

27

WMO OMM

What Inhibits Effective Use of Weather, Water and Climate

Information?

• Insufficient density of data observations in rural areas.

• The lack of standardized climate databases with software

to create products necessary for agriculture

(i.e., agricultural drought indices)

• Timely access to comprehensive products and resources.

• Availability of products and resources in standard formats.

WMO OMM WAMIS Phase II

• The WAMIS Phase II servers are linked web portals that will access resource products and services at the international, national, regional and institutional levels.

• Resource products and services include:

--NWP Forecast/

--Climate Change Scenarios

--crop, p&d, models

--IT Resources

--Data Base Management System

--Special Product Analyses

• Each server will have primary functions, but will be linked to the other two servers.

European high-quality agricultural production chain

• AGROMETEOROLOGY FOR FOOD-CHAINS

• AGROMETEOROLOGICAL NEEDS FOR CROP PRODUCTION

• Approach based on the adoption of the classical modeling

scheme of crops production. The final output of the scheme (a

given quantity/quality of yield) is the input of the agro-industrial

chain to produce final outputs for market.

• Dynamic crop simulation models based on a cascade of energy

triggered by solar radiation that feeds a cascade of matter

RRBiological and chemical fact

• Agri-food chain Es: winter cereals: Harvest -> Desiccation -> Storage -> Trade -> Food industry -> Trade of final products

Info needed as analysis/forecast:

• - harvest date

• yield quantity of production (t ha-1)

• -yield quality (e.g.: proteins and quality of gluten)

Information at spatial scales:

• - single fields (traceability)

• - homogeneous cropping areas

• - administrative units.

Specific information needed for the management of:

• desiccation plants: activity determined by rhythms of supply, seed water content and temperatur, air temperature and relative humidity.

• storage plants: management activities planned as a function of quantity / quality of products. At a 12-13%, grain moisture content, wheat can be stored up to 12 months if grain temperature is below 13°C. A uniform temperature throughout the bin is needed.

• stock exchange: information about product availability (quantity / quality)

• food industries : industrial processes must be tuned on the base of rhythms of product supply and its quantity/quality.
