Product type Article

Synopsis (short abstract) Our goal in this article is to address methods of communicating agrometeorological information, which consists of disseminating and evaluating information, and to provide examples of these processes. Given the dynamic nature of ICTs, some of the examples given here may be outdated in a short time, while new applications of ICTs that are currently beyond our imagination will be developed and accepted. We conclude by raising and responding to some critical questions about communicating agrometeoro logical information in the future. A representative list of Websites dealing with agrometeorology, not discussed in this article, is given as an annex to this article.
