INSAM has set up a several internet forums on agrometeorology, of which all members of INSAM are also automatically members! The purpose of the forum is to encourage members to improve contacts with other members on general subjects, but also (and primarily) to get technical help from others.

Pl
ease visit http://forum.agrometeorology.org/

Here is the current list of the five forums, which we me may modify in the future based on actual use. We are not making any recommendations about language at this stage, but we expect that non-English posts will occur mostly in Forum 3.

Forum 1: Announcements
Moderator: Wergosum, i.e. the INSAM current President
This includes meetings, conferences, publications etc. Some of this will be duplicated on the INSAM site, but there are also many micro-announcements that will not make it into the INSAM site.

Forum 2: Helpline
Moderator: tbd (to be decided)
This is about getting help from other members on technical issues. If I don't know which software or which method to use to spatially interpolate wind, this is where I'll ask for help.

Forum 3: Regional and thematic issues
Moderator: tbd
The forum covers all regional and non-technical thematic issues issues. If you want to set up a national discussion, or discussion on the role of agrometeorology in crop market planning, this is the right place.
 
Forum 4: Data
Moderator: tbd
This forum will cover all data issues, from sources to quality, ground or remote sensing, availability etc.

Forum 5: Members' corner
Moderator: tbd
This is the lighter side of the forum, where members will be invited to publish opinions, views, impressions, personal announcements (
you will attend a conference next week and want to let your local friends know!) The Members' corner is also the place for comments about the forum!

I very much look forward to meeting you on the forums!

R. Gommes & Massimiliano Magli (webmaster)
