  • Applications of Geographical Information Systems and Remote Sensing in Agrometeorology G
    Agricultural and Forest Meteorology 103 (2000) 119–136 Applications of geographical information systems and remote sensing in agrometeorology G. Maracchi a,∗, V. Pérarnaud b,1, A.D. Kleschenko c,2 a Institute of Agrometeorology and Environmental Analysis for Agriculture, Research National Council, P.le delle Cascine 18, 50144 Firenze, Italy b METEO FRANCE, SCEM/CBD, Avenue G. Coriolis 42, F-31057 Toulouse Cedex, France c All-Russian Research Institute of Agricultural Meteorology, Lenin Street 82, 249020 Obninsk, Kaluga Region, Russia Abstract An eco-compatible and sustainable development requires integrated management of all available information and the extraction of analytical evaluation on the impact of human activities. Agrometeorology can be used to contribute to further understanding of the relative importance of each environmental component, organising the field activities and optimising the use of natural resources. This is especially true today, due to the availability of new tools, as geographic information systems (GIS), which allow the management of an incredible quantity of data, as traditional digital maps, database, models etc. The advantages are manifold and highly important, especially for the fast cross-sector interactions and the production of synthetic and lucid information for decision-makers. Remote sensing provides the most important informative contribution to GIS, which furnishes basic informative layers in optimal time and space resolutions. This paper describes various recent applications of GIS and remote sensing in Agrometeorology, both in developed and developing countries. It illustrates the possible evolution of these systems and the expected future developments, which can be decisive for a re-launch of the role of this science in the environmental and land resource management.

  • Chapter 2 Agricultural Meteorological Variables and Their Observations
    Chapter 2 Agricultural Meteorological Variables and their Observations This Chapter was compiled by Vasiraju R.K. Murthy with James Milford, Kees Stigter, Simone Orlandini, Andrew Oliphant, Richard Grant and Jon Wieringa The set up was assisted by facilitators Amador Argete, Han Yadong, Valentin Kazandjiev, Branislava Lalic , Swami Nathan, Francesco Sabbatini and Tom Sauer The Chapter was externally reviewed by Tom Keane and Marianna Nardino, also this way improving the draft manuscript There was internal coordination by Vasiraju R.K. Murthy and external coordination by Kees Stigter 1 2.1 Basic aspects of agricultural meteorological observations Observations of the physical and biological variables in the environment are essential in agricultural meteorology. Meteorological considerations enter in assessing the performance of a plant or animal because their growth is a result of the combined effect of genetic characteristics (nature) and their response to environment (nurture). Without quantitative data, agrometeorological planning, forecasting, research and services by agrometeorologists cannot properly assist agricultural producers to survive and tomeet the ever-increasing demands for food and agricultural by-products. Suchdata are also needed to assess the impacts of agricultural activities and processes on the environment and climate. The following sections provide guidance on the types of observations required, their extent, organization and accuracy, as well as on the instruments needed to obtain the data, with emphasis on those for operational and long term stations. There are older books on measurements in the open but more recently the number with components useful in agricultural meteorology has reduced. Reference can here for example be made to books that have become more widely in use after the previous edition of this Guide was compiled such as Fritschen and Gay (1979), Greacen (1981), Meteorological Office (1981), Woodward and Sheehy (1983), Russell et al.

    Pacific Island History Poster Profiles A Note for Teachers Acknowledgements Index of Profiles This Profiles are subject to copyright. Photocopying and general reproduction for teaching purposes is permitted. Reproduction of this material in part or whole for commercial purposes is forbidden unless written consent has been obtained from Queensland University of Technology. Requests can be made through the acknowldgements section of this pdf file. A Note for Teachers This series of National History Posters has been designed for individual and group Classroom use and Library display in secondary schools. The main aim is to promote in children an interest in their national history. By comparing their nation's history with what is presented on other Posters, students will appreciate the similarities and differences between their own history and that of their Pacific Island neighbours. The student activities are designed to stimulate comparison and further inquiry into aspects of their own and other's past. The National History Posters will serve a further purpose when used as a permanent display in a designated “History” classroom, public space or foyer in the school or for special Parent- Teacher nights, History Days and Education Days. The National History Posters do not offer a complete survey of each nation's history. They are only a profile. They are a short-cut to key people, key events and the broad sweep of history from original settlement to the present. There are many gaps. The posters therefore serve as a stimulus for students to add, delete, correct and argue about what should or should not be included in their Nation's History Profile.
