PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL SENSITIZATION WORKSHOP ON AGROMETEOROLOGY AND GIS

Abstract

All living things in one-way or the other could not escape from the impact o f weather and climate. Hence, meteorology should be given due attention in order to take advance measure to minimize the impacts o f hazardous weather and climatic conditions. In this aspect, the basis that was laid by the government to create an institution which can shoulder this responsibility must have been formulated. Hence, the National Meteorological Service Agency (NMSA) was established under the proclamation No.201 o f 1980.
