  3. Inter-Regional Workshop on Improving Agrometeorological Bulletins • Inter-Regional Workshop on Improving Agrometeorological Bulletins, Bridgetown, Barbados (Oct 2001). • Attended by 25 experts from 21 countries. • Participants developed the concept of a centralized web server for agrometeorological products. WAMIS - www.wamis.org

  4. Global Web Server for Agrometeorological Products • Recognizing the need for improved access to agrometeorological products by members, CAgM initiated a project to enhance the use of Internet technology for agricultural weather applications. WAMIS - www.wamis.org

  5. Expert Group Meeting on Internet Applications for Agrometeorological Products • Expert Group Meeting on Internet Applications for Agrometeorological Products, Washington, D.C. (May 2002). Attended by 12 experts from 7 countries. • Experts developed a plan to implement a centralized web server to host: • National Agrometeorological Bulletins • Agrometeorological Advisories • Agrometeorological Training Modules WAMIS - www.wamis.org

  15. Benefits of WAMIS to Members • WAMIS helps members to disseminate and improve their agro meteorological products. • As a dedicated web server, it allows countries to place their agrometeorological bulletins and advisories on a near real-time basis. • Provides tools and resources to help members improve the quality and presentation of their agrometeorological bulletins. • Provides a central location for agrometeorological information so that members can quickly and easily evaluate the various bulletins.

  16. WAMIS Accomplishments • Operational as of Nov 2003 • Over 95 countries have responded to SG letter requesting Focal Points • Bulletins and/or web links for 12 countries • Mirror servers (Italy & South Korea) operational as of Jan 2004 • Over 1400 total web visits as of May 2004 WAMIS - www.wamis.org
