Climate effects on agriculture are of increasing concern in both the scientific and policy communities because of the growing population and the greater uncertainty in the weather during growing seasons. Changes in production are directly linked to variations in temperature and precipitation during the growing season and often to the offseason changes in weather because of soil water storage to replenish the soil profile. This is not an isolated problem but one of worldwide interest because each country has concerns about their food security.
These slides are about how crop and weather are interlinked an d how their association can be an impressive tools in the hands of the creative minds of the scientific world.

Sweet Success: virtual world tools enhance real world decision making in the ...Helen Farley
In farming, the outcome of critical decisions to enhance productivity and profitability and so ensure the viability of farming enterprises is often influenced by seasonal conditions and weather events over the growing season. This paper reports on a project that uses cutting-edge advances in digital technologies and their application in learning environments to develop and evaluate a web-based virtual ‘discussion-support’ system for improved climate risk management in Australian sugar farming systems. Customized scripted video clips (machinima) are created in the Second Life virtual world environment. The videos use contextualized settings and lifelike avatar actors to model conversations about climate risk and key farm operational decisions relevant to the real-world lives and practices of sugarcane farmers. The tools generate new cognitive schema for farmers to access and provide stimuli for discussions around how to incorporate an understanding of climate risk into operational decision-making. They also have potential to provide cost-effective agricultural extension which simulates real world face-to-face extension services but is accessible anytime anywhere.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.

“En regiones con una alta densidad de estaciones de superficie, no se encontraron mejoras significativas en el producto de combinación
(donde de hecho hay poca contribución de TRMM) en simplemente la interpolación de las observaciones existentes (OBS90). Sin
embargo, los análisis resultantes sobre las regiones de baja densidad de observación (al oeste de 568W) muestran sustancial mejora en
el producto MERGE en comparación con OBS90. MERGE ha demostrado ser una herramienta valiosa en el análisis de una rejilla regular

Editor's Notes
Las mediciones de tiempo para un sitio determinado menudo no están disponibles debido a que (1) no hay ninguna estación meteorológica, (2) las estaciones meteorológicas no están en buen estado para que los datos son o bien sólo está disponible por un corto período, o contienen lagunas, (3) Los datos recogidos no son correctamente almacenados, (4) los datos no pasan los controles de calidad básicos, y / o (5) el acceso a los datos está restringido mediante la celebración de las instituciones (Fig. 1). Esto limita aún más los análisis de impacto agrícola, destacando la importancia de que los datos públicos. Aparte de las limitaciones relacionadas con el acceso y la ubicación de las estaciones meteorológicas, probablemente la cuestión más importante en relación con los datos de clima es la calidad (Begert et al, 2008;. DeGaetano, 2006) (Fig. 1), que también afecta en gran medida el rendimiento de los modelos de impacto. Por lo tanto, la comunidad del clima y la agricultura se ha centrado en parte en el desarrollo de métodos, ya sea para llenar lagunas de datos temporal o espacial, y en el uso de estos métodos para el desarrollo de conjuntos de datos mundiales o regionales con acceso público (Hijmans et al, 2005;. Jones y Thornton, 1999; Soltani et al., 2004). Sin embargo, las incertidumbres en los conjuntos de datos globales derivados de los métodos de interpolación han sido apenas (si en absoluto) estimado (Buytaert et al, 2009;. Challinor y Wheeler, 2008;. Soria-Auza et al, 2010). Los investigadores que utilizan conjuntos de datos globales y cualquier estación meteorológica fuente Fig. 1. deben ser conscientes de estos problemas y debe tener esto en cuenta al probar la sensibilidad de sus enfoques a los problemas de exactitud (es decir, falta de homogeneidad, discontinuidades) y (si es posible) que proporcionan resultados dentro del rango de incertidumbre en los datos de entrada (es decir, como la salidas de los métodos de interpolación validados cruz) (Challinor et al., 2005).
En los últimos 10 años,
combinación de datos de estaciones meteorológicas, datos de satélite y modelos de predicción numérica del tiempo, además de los métodos de interpolación, o en la planta aplicación de modelos climáticos.
El uso de estos conjuntos de datos para los propósitos de modelado agrícolas es bastante limitado para una o más de las siguientes razones:Aparte de las limitaciones relacionadas con el acceso y la ubicación de las estaciones meteorológicas, probablemente la cuestión más importante en relación con los datos de clima es la calidad, que también afecta en gran medida el rendimiento de los modelos de impacto.
Agriculture is a niche based activity, and then we need climate data to characterize the niche.
In relation to climate and agriculture, agriculture demands to multiple variables like precipitation, temperature, wind speed, soil moisture, solar radiation, relative humid, among many others.Agriculture demands very high spatial resolution, maybe 1km, ninty meters..
Also, agriculture needs a Mid-high temporal resolution. We need at least montly climate data and for some application we need daily data for example mechanistic crops models ..
Both for present and future
For adaptation plans we need high certainty.. Mainly for precipitation

Daily Observational Data: GHCN Daily Summary – GIS Data Locator
GHCN (Global Historical Climatology Network)-Daily is a data set whose aim is to address the need for historical daily records over global land areas. Like its monthly counterpart (GHCN-Monthly), GHCN-Daily is a composite of climate records from numerous sources that were merged and then subjected to a suite of quality assurance reviews. The meteorological elements measured for the data set include, but are not limited to, daily maximum and minimum temperature, temperature at the time of observation, precipitation (i.e., rainfall and snow water equivalent), snowfall and snow depth. GHCN-Daily serves as the official archive for daily data from the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) Surface Network (GSN) and is particularly well suited for monitoring and assessment activities related to the frequency and magnitude of extremes. Sources for the GHCN-Daily data set include, but are not limited, to U.S. Cooperative Summary of the Day, U.S. Fort data, U.S. Climate Reference Network, Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network, and numerous international sources.
GHCN Daily Observations - GIS Data Locator
The Observations map displays current and historical weather observations for six primary variables (maximum temperature, minimum temperature, average temperature, precipitation, snowfall, and snow depth). The source of the data is GHCN-Daily.
Monthly Observational Data: GHCN–D Monthly Summaries – GIS Data Locator
The GHCN-Daily was developed to meet the needs of climate analysis and monitoring studies that require data at a sub-monthly time resolution (e.g., assessments of the frequency of heavy rainfall, heat wave duration, etc.). It also serves as NCDCs sole source of U.S. Summary of the Day data, providing a diverse array of users in the public and private sector with weather and climate observations that meet needs from the local to national level. By bringing together contributions from dozens of national and international sources and combining historical with near real-time observations, this dataset helps users understand todays climate and how it impacts society while helping users prepare for weather and climate conditions in the future.
Issues
Son datos ppalmente de estaciones en aeropuerto y no reporta correctamente valores 0 de precipitacion
Del potencial de estaciones hay muy pocas que reporta el NCDC
Global Surface Summary of the Day is a product produced by the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC), and is derived from the synoptic/hourly observations contained in the Integrated Surface Hourly (ISH) dataset (DSI-3505). The latest daily summary data are normally available 1-2 days after the date-time of the observations used in the daily summaries, and over 9000 worldwide stations' data are available. Daily elements (as available) include mean values of temperature, dew point, sea level and station pressures, visibility, and wind speed plus maximum sustained wind speed and/or wind gusts, maximum and minimum temperature, precipitation amounts, snow depth, and indicators for occurrences of various weather elements. Historical data are generally available for 1929 to the present, with data from 1973 to the present being the most complete. Daily extremes and totals--maximum wind gust, precipitation amount, and snow depth-- only appear if the station reports the data sufficiently to provide a valid value. Therefore, these three elements appear less frequently than other values. Since these elements are derived from the original synoptic/hourly data as are reported and based on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT, 0000Z-2359Z), they often comprise a 24-hour period which includes a portion of the previous day (i.e., offset from local standard times).

“En regiones con una alta densidad de estaciones de superficie, no se encontraron mejoras significativas en el producto de combinación (donde de hecho hay poca contribución de TRMM) en simplemente la interpolación de las observaciones existentes (OBS90). Sin embargo, los análisis resultantes sobre las regiones de baja densidad de observación (al oeste de 568W) muestran sustancial mejora en el producto MERGE en comparación con OBS90. MERGE ha demostrado ser una herramienta valiosa en el análisis de una rejilla regular para su uso en la evaluación de los resultados del modelo”
