Global climatic and real-time meteorological stations
data from different sources are received under various forms (e.g.
hand-written report, formatted and non-formatted text, spreadsheet,
ASCII text, spatially interpolated data, etc.).
Data are then stored into a Relational Data Base Management System
and, through a user-interface, access is provided to FAO's internal
and external users. The data, being used by the Agrometeorology
Group and other technical divisions within FAO, by most of National
Early Warning Units for Food Security, and in world-wide climate-related
studies, represent an essential tool for agrometeorological data
analysis and for the FAO crop yield forecasting methodology.
