Abstract
The Canadian Agriculture Weather Monitoring System (CAWM) provides a variety of crop growth indices at 140 weather sites across Canada. CAWM uses synoptic weather observations from Environment Canada and formatted for agricultural analysis with Oceanroutes Canada software. CAWM provides nation-wide reconnaissance level information on crop growing conditions. In combination with verbal and statistical reports from various regions, crop weather reports generated by CAWM give reliable updates on regional and national crop production problems.Synoptic weather data include four observations per day of temperature, wind, sunshine and precipitation from which daily values are interpolated and the daily evapotranspiration potentials are calculated. An editing process provides continuous, uninterrupted sequences of daily weather records essential in computer simulations and agricultural monitoring by replacing missing observations with climatic normals.The crop weather indices derived from CAWM range from simple a...
