Agrometeorology

Agrometeorological network was started in 1973 with the guidance and donations given by United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) as a result of it, so many agrometeorological stations were established island wide under certain institutions such as coconut research rubber research agriculture research paddy research and tea research at the beginning.

We receive continuously data from all stations and those data are quality controlled and processed by agromet division other than this we supply data for academic purpose research and other relevant projects .
