Descripción
Downscaling climate observation is part of the activities of the second component of the project “Strengthening Agro-climatic Monitoring and Information Systems (SAMIS) to improve adaptation to climate change and food security in Lao PDR”. The Department of Meteorology and Hydrology (DMH) and the Department of Agricultural Land Management (DALaM) are developing climate maps that depict climatic variables at a geographical scale for the past and future. Each map usually shows one type of variable, most commonly either temperature or precipitation. Climate-related variables that will be mapped are humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind speed, sunlight hours etc. The outputs will support the development of agro-ecological zoning and feed into the Land Resource Information Management System (LRMIS) to be used for agricultural and adaptation policy development.
