Frost is commonly ranked by farmers as the second most important climate risk after rainfall variability. Thus reliable nocturnal temperature forecasts are of paramount importance in understanding the potential for frost formation and enabling its timely prediction and detection. Such forecasts would allow appropriate active or passive management responses. Utilising the existing meteorological network of the Department of Agriculture, this project aims to develop an integrated frost prediction system that will provide timely estimates of both the spatial and temporal extent of frost events for farmers and agribusiness.

霜冻通常被农民列为仅次于降雨变率的第二大气候风险。因此，可靠的夜间温度预报对于了解霜冻形成的可能性并及时预测和检测霜冻至关重要。这种预测将使管理层能够作出适当的主动或被动反应。利用农业部现有的气象网络，该项目旨在开发一个综合霜冻预测系统，为农民和农业综合企业提供霜冻事件的时空范围的及时估计。
