International: TAMSAT-AgricuLtural EaRly warning sysTem (TAMSAT-ALERT) platform

我们建议开发一个新的平台，TAMSAT-ALERT*，它将把非洲农业决策支持方面经过验证的研究转化为一个与农业和金融部门的关键利益攸关方共同设计的平台，致力于支持农民在每个季节面临时间紧迫的农业决策。TAMSAT-ALERT(农业决策支持)是评估与天气有关的农业风险的方法框架。TAMSAT与国家水文气象部门以及金融和农业部门的领导人合作，在包括加纳和赞比亚在内的几个非洲国家试行了该框架和相关数据产品。目前，该框架以一组研究级代码的形式存在，只能在TAMSAT组内运行。拟议的项目将把TAMSAT-ALERT发展成一个平台，可供非洲和其他地区的农业和金融部门使用--弥合研究水平产品和业务工具之间的差距。为了吸引广泛的利益相关者社区，该平台将通过一个网站、一个智能手机应用程序和R/Python包提供服务。我们的愿景是一套可持续的技术，可以独立于项目调查人员进行开发，以实现社会公益。*利用卫星数据和地面观测对气象学的热带应用--农业决策支持系统

We propose the development of a new platform, TAMSAT-ALERT*, which will transform proven research in decision support for African agriculture into a platform co-designed with key stakeholders in the agricultural and financial sectors, dedicated to supporting farmers facing time-critical agronomic decisions every season.TAMSAT-ALERT (AgricuLtural dEcision suppoRT) is a methodological framework for assessing weather-related risk to agriculture. TAMSAT has piloted the framework and associated data products in several African countries, including Ghana and Zambia, in partnership with national hydrometeorological services, and leaders in the financial and agricultural sectors. Currently the framework exists as a set of research level code, which can only be run within the TAMSAT group. The proposed project will develop TAMSAT-ALERT into a platform, which can be utilized by the agricultural and financial sectors in Africa and beyond - bridging the gap between research level products and an operational tool. To engage a wide community of stakeholders, the platform will be served through a website, a smartphone app and R/python packages. Our vision is a set of sustainable technologies that can be exploited independently of the project investigators for societal good. *Tropical Applications of Meteorology using SATellite data and ground observations - AgricuLtural dEcision suppoRT system
