Introductory Agricultural Climatology

Agricultural Climatology is an introductory book for climatology courses at faculties of agriculture and for agroclimatology courses at faculties, whose curricula include these subjects. Additionally, this book may be a useful source of information for practicing agronomists and all those interested in different aspects of weather and climate impacts on agriculture. A special feature of the book is that it contains many indigenous examples related to the humid tropics. In addition, the book has many plates and information on basic and sophisticated meteorological equipment. A variety of chapter help develop students’ understanding of salient concepts and makes the material presented more meaningful. We sincerely hope that this book will help future generations of agronomists to recognize the weather as a partner, and not an opponent, in the venture they embarked upon – to maximize the production of healthy food.
