尽管最近取得了进展，但对于许多需要预测安全和可持续生计的群体，如个体渔民，对气候和天气服务的吸收有限。例如，在印度西南部的阿拉伯海海岸，他们经常在恶劣的天气捕鱼，并在以大风和海浪为标志的季风季节冒着事故的风险。为了使预报更容易获得，我们测试和部署了一个名为无线电季风的低成本、基于网络的知识联合制作系统。该网站提供图形和当地语言文本的风速和海浪高度预报，具有多个界面-社交媒体、WhatsApp，以及使用互联网协议语音的免费电话服务。焦点小组和对话在反馈循环中将渔民和预报员联系起来。本文通过研究季风电台的技术部署和社会影响，探讨了季风电台如何应对知识联合制作方面的挑战。
Despite recent advances, uptake of climate and weather services is limited for many groups that need forecasts for safe and sustainable livelihoods such as artisanal fishers. On the Arabian Sea coast of southwestern India, for instance, they often fish in foul weather, and risk accidents during the monsoon season marked by high wind and waves. To make forecasts more easily accessible, we tested and deployed a low-cost, web-based, knowledge co-production system called Radio Monsoon. The website offers wind speed and wave height forecasts in graphics and local-language text with multiple interfaces - social media, WhatsApp, and a free phone service using voice over internet protocol. Focus groups and conversations connect the fishers with forecasters in a feedback loop. This paper examines how Radio Monsoon addresses challenges in knowledge co-production by looking at its technology deployment and societal impact.
