The 1-week face-to-face course “Agriculture meteorology for sustainable water management in agroecosystems” was designed with the aim to facilitate participants to increase their knowledge of novel scientific results, and advanced technologies for the agrometeorological analysis and monitoring applied to agricultural water management under present and future climates. The school was co-organized by the World Meteorological Organization Regional Training Center in Italy, operated by the Institute of BioEconomy of the National Research Council and the Italian Association of Agrometeorology, AIAM, and the technical support of FAO.
The 28 participants from 14 Countries were selected among more than 110 applicants, and most of them work in the field of meteorology, agro-meteorology, hydrology, climate, and agricultural engineering, while some were PhD students.
In addition, the school included a field visit to Acqua Campus (CER) under the guidance of experts in decision support systems, flux measurements eddy covariance, and satellite and sensors use for in-farm irrigation.
