Agrometeo lab - Open-air widespread laboratory of agrometeorology

L'Agrometeo lab non è un laboratorio tradizionale, allestito in uno spazio protetto in cui vengono effettuati esperimenti in condizioni controllate. Si tratta di un insieme di stazioni elettroniche di rilevamento agrometeorologico dislocate sul territorio in contesti agrari concreti, alcune inserite in reti di monitoraggio istituzionali (Rete AgroMeteorologica della Regione Piemonte-Assessorato Agricoltura-Settore Fitosanitario, Rete MeteoIdrografica regionale dell'Arpa Piemonte). Ciò ne fa un laboratorio a "cielo aperto" diffuso sul territorio per l'osservazione dell'andamento meteoclimatico reale.

Area: agrometeorology, weather observations and monitoring, crop and water management, agronomy 4.0
