Monitoring and Predicting Frost Events in the Agricultural Area of WA

霜冻通常被农民列为仅次于降雨变化的第二大气候风险。因此，可靠的夜间温度预报对于了解霜冻形成的可能性以及及时预测和检测霜冻至关重要。这样的预测将允许适当的主动或被动的管理反应。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，该系统将为农民和农业企业提供霜冻事件的时空范围的及时估计。

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.
