农业社区越来越多地要求国家气象和水文局提供农业气象信息和服务，以更有效地科普气候多变性和干旱、洪水、霜冻和风蚀等极端气象事件发生率的增加。虽然在天气和气候数据的收集、存档和分析方面取得了相当大的进展，但将这些数据转化为农业部门可以随时使用的信息的工作却落后了，特别是在最需要这种信息的发展中国家。其中一个重要原因是，在评估可提高农业气象信息和服务价值的适当传播和交流程序时，缺乏与用户界的充分互动。简要回顾了世界各地国家气象水文局及其相关机构传播和交流农业气象信息的现状。还介绍了农业气象信息的用户群体及其不同需求。通过适当的例子说明了国家气象水文系统在传播和交流农业气象信息方面的机遇和挑战，这些例子强调必须不断改进，使农业气象信息更容易获得，对用户群体更有用。版权所有© 2006年皇家气象学会
Agrometeorological information and services from the National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs) are increasingly being demanded by the farming community to cope more efficiently with climate variability and the increasing incidence of extreme meteorological events such as droughts, floods, frosts and wind erosion. While considerable advances have been made in the collection, archiving and analysis of weather and climate data, their transformation into information that can be readily used by the farm sector has lagged behind, especially in developing countries where such information needs are the greatest. One of the important reasons is the lack of adequate interaction with the user community in assessing the appropriate dissemination and communication procedures that can enhance the value of the agrometeorological information and services. A brief review of the present status of dissemination and communication of agrometeorological information by the NMHSs and associated agencies in different regions around the world is presented. A description of the user communities for agrometeorological information and their varying needs is also presented. Opportunities and challenges in the dissemination and communication of agrometeorological information by the NMHSs are described with suitable examples which emphasize that continued improvements are necessary to make agrometeorological information more accessible and useful to the user community.
