It offers insights into climate data analysis, weather forecasting, crop modelling, and agroclimatic zoning that are the key tools for managing agriculture under changing climatic conditions. Beginning with the setup of agrometeorological observatories and time calculation methods, the book covers essential techniques such as climograph preparation, statistical analysis, and assessment of extreme weather events. It includes tools like comfort indices, rainfall probability models, and agroclimatic indices mainly growing degree day (GDD), helio-thermal (HTU) and photothermal units (PTU) for predicting crop phenological stages and yield. Chapters on estimation of chilling units, canopy temperature, and stress degree days help assess crop stress, while forest fire models expand its relevance to environmental risk management. Practical applications include crop weather calendars, water budgeting, evapo-transpiration estimation, and effective rainfall calculation plays vital for role irrigation scheduling and crop sowing planning. The book is ideal for undergraduate and post graduate students, researchers, and agrometeorologist looking to integrate climate information into agricultural practices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDr Satish Kumar Bhardwaj Guided 23 MSc and PhD students.

She earned her Ph.D. in Agricultural Meteorology from Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, as an INSPIRE Fellow of the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India. Her research integrates agrometeorology, climate change, crop modelling, weather forecasting, remote sensing \u0026amp; GIS, and weather-based agro-advisory services to enhance climate-resilient agriculture. With over five years of professional experience, she has been actively involved in generating and disseminating medium-range agro-advisories for farming communities across four districts of Himachal Pradesh, contributing to sustainable agricultural decision-making and climate risk management. She has authored 14 peer-reviewed research papers in reputed national and international journals, in addition to contributing book chapters with leading publishers including Elsevier and Springer. Her research is dedicated to advancing climate-smart and weather-resilient agriculture by integrating meteorological science with practical farm decision-making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13 April 2027\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Nature Switzerland\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9783032446206\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62349821411468,"sku":"9783032446206","price":179.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783032446206","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
