Climate/Weather SBA CSIR South Africa has volunteered to lead the Climate/Weather SBA thread - though more weather, less climate in a very much Sensor Web like fashion, i.e. weather as SBA and technical focus on Sensor Web aspects, such as SWE profiles for weather. CSIR will bring a number of services to AIP-4 in terms of weather and are interested in building something bigger. –sensor services serving weather station data (hosted by the South African Agricultural Research Council (ARC)), and the South African coastal ocean data (hosted by the CSIR) with a view to building a CoP for (global) Weather data.

Drought Early Warning requires assembly within an information system (GEOSS) the uses of water, so that drought vulnerability can be assessed or included Soil Moisture in the European Union Europe Drought Observatory: agricultural impact ( Agricultural use, cooling water for power generation, domestic use, environmental flow requirement for ecosystems

Agriculture-Crop Condition Monitoring (Liping Di) Crop condition information is critical to decision making in both public and private sectors that concern agricultural policy, production, food security, and food prices. Crop conditions change quickly due to changes of various growing conditions, such as temperature, soil moisture, fertilization, or disease, etc. –Timely and repeat monitoring with a full spatial coverage and sufficient spatial resolution throughout the growing season is necessary. Satellite remote sensing provides the best method to monitor crop condition globally. –Conditions are measured by comparing the current vegetation indices derived from remote sensing to multiple-year statistics of the indices (e.g., Mean, Maximum, Minimum, Medium, etc). –Multiple nations and organizations are monitoring the crop conditions. –Standardizing the condition measures and serving the measures to global users under GEOSS framework will be meaningful Participants: GMU, USDA NASS, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Science..
