The 5th Edition of the International School is co-organized by AIAM, WMO-RTC in Italy, Università Politecnica delle Marche, jointly with the CA20108 FAIRNESS COST Action, and with the Technical Cooperation of FAO.
Effective agricultural management requires detailed knowledge of microclimatic conditions at the field and sub-field scale. Agricultural Meteorology provides essential tools to monitor and analyse local climate variability, supporting data-driven decisions for resource optimization and sustainable practices. The 5th edition of the School, Agricultural Meteorology for Agriculture Management at Microscale, focuses on high-resolution climate analysis, precision monitoring, and site-specific applications. Participants will learn advanced techniques to assess and manage microclimatic dynamics, improving resilience and efficiency in agricultural systems, under a changing climate.
Topics covered by the school will include:
– Introduction to land-atmosphere interaction
– Micrometeorological flux measurements
– Innovative tools for micrometeorological data
– Micrometeorology, urban environment and urban forestry.
A field trip is planned, dedicated to air-soil interactions and observations and analysis.
Prerequisites:
Applicants are expected to have an adequate knowledge of Meteorology, Agrometeorology, Agronomy and agro-systems management, data collection and analysis.
