Farmers' Adaptation to Climatic Variability in the Caribbean

Climatic phenomena being observed presently

  • Variable rainfall conditions with alternating droughts and period of excess rainfall.
  • Increased number and intensity of tropical storms.
  • Decrease in the overall predictability of weather and climate, making the day‐to‐day and medium‐term planning of farm operations more difficult
Caribbean Agrometeorological Initiative USDA Agricultural Weather Facility
  • Operated by USDA/OCE (Washington, D.C.) since 1978, with NOAA/NWS meteorologists providing weather data and forecasting support to the USDA facility.
  • Mission: Keep the Nation's growers, USDA commodity analysts, as well as the Secretary and top staff informed of worldworld-wide weather related developments and their effects
    on crops and livestock.
  • USDA agricultural meteorologists receive global weather data, products, and expertise in interpretation of forecast models from NWS, and merge these products with climatologicalclimatologicalanalyses and global agronomic data to analyses determine weather's impact on agricultural productiondetermine production.
