Climate Applications and User Interface Approaches in Agricultural Meteorology: Operational Perspectives from IMD
Climate information is increasingly becoming an essential component of agricultural planning and risk management. Advances in observations, forecasting systems, remote sensing, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have significantly enhanced our ability to monitor, predict, and communicate weather and climate risks relevant to agriculture. However, the true value of climate information lies not only in its scientific accuracy but also in its effective translation into actionable insights for farmers, extension agencies, researchers, and policy makers. This lecture note is based on my invited lecture titled “Climate Applications and User Interface Approaches in Agricultural Meteorology” delivered during the National Training Programme on Application of Remote Sensing and GIS in Agricultural Meteorology organized by the Centre for Advanced Faculty Training (CAFT) in Agricultural Meteorology, College of Agriculture, Pune. The lecture focused on how climate information can be transfo...
