 The
Caribbean Agricultural Meteorology Network (CarAgMet), a network of
Caribbean meteorologists and agriculturists, was launched in
September 2005. One of its aims is to promote functional dialogue
between regional meteorologists and agriculturalists facilitating
exchange of ideas and collaboration on agrometeorology-related
issues within the member states of the Caribbean Meteorological
Organisation (CMO).
The network also seeks to increase the awareness of the science of
agro-meteorology in the Caribbean while at the same time providing
useful information and giving advice to the agricultural community
to enhance agricultural productivity in the region. The Network’s
web page is expected to serve as an educational resource for
meteorologists and agriculturalists in the region.
Specifically the work and goals of the network will
reflect the following:
An avenue for providing agrometeorological data, information,
analyses, consultations, expert assessments and best practices to
meet the needs of the agricultural community in CMO member states.
The provision of technical support on agrometeorological issues in
CMO member states.
The provision of a forum for dialogue on agrometeorological issues,
sharing experiences and research results.
An educational resource on agrometeorology and related topics
through publishing of articles and papers and through links with
related institutions and research projects regionally and globally.
The network is opened to persons residing in member countries of the
Caribbean Meteorological Organization and its Caribbean affiliates.
The Network's activities are facilitated by the Applied Meteorology
and Climatology department of the Caribbean Institute for
Meteorology and Hydrology, Barbados.
