Description
Abstract
The Observatory for agricultural meteorology and climatology website has two specific sections devoted to agrometeorological monitoring and forecasting over the Italian area, where several materials such as maps, datasets or reports are made available sistematically and free of charge to all data users. Maps and datasets are hosted on a cloud storage of the Research Center for Agriculture and Environment, which is part of the Council for Agricultural Research and Economics (CREA). In particular, the materials are organized in two different sections (see table below)
| Section | Description | Update frequency | LINK to map gallery |

Further information is available in the attached content relative to data source and data processing applyied for the index calculation.
Attached content
The documentation attached is composed by 5 files in PDF format:
- 2 files devoted to AgroMIND documentation, in English and Italian
- 2 files devoted to AgroFIND documentation, in English and Italian
- Nota tecnica Agrometeo di PianetaPSR (in Italian) which decribes the methods applied for our monthly agro-meteorological report published on the italian online magazine PianetaPSR.
Notes (En)
The two files devoted to AgroFIND documentation have been updated respect to the previous version v1.0, because the forecasting data source has been changed (from HRES to ICON-EU atmospheric weather prediction model)
