This handbook reviews regional operational applications of agrometeorology in the form of case studies of agrometeorological services and information that prepare farmers of different income levels for extreme weather and climate events and for the use of weather and climate "windows of opportunity" under conditions of a changing climate. In a review of operational agrometeorological knowledge, fields of application will be covered: crops (for which aspects of soils, pests, diseases, water, fertilizers and labour are discussed, in so far as their interaction with agrometeorological factors), forestry, livestock, and fisheries, and all with an emphasis on applications of current knowledge. Supportive methods that are operationally applied are reviewed and exemplified through case studies of their applications in the above mentioned fields. This applies to field quantifications, modelling, decision-support systems, remote sensing, geographic information systems and other approaches to problem solving.
