Main problems:
- High variability in the rain regimen - Sensible Regions of the influences of El Nino, La Nina - Low density of official meteorological data.- losses provoked by droughts,storms, high and low T

Losses by frost in São Paulo State coffee production
Area production 240.000 hectaresCosts production = US$ 120 millionsExpected benefits with weather forecast frost is efficient in 50% = US$ 40 milions.

Principal results
Climatic risk zoning
Brazil:Brazil:Average Corn Yield before climatic risks zoning:1991 a 1995 = 2564 Kg/haAverage Corn Yield after climatic risks zoning:1996 e 2003 = 2961 Kg/ha .................15%Average soybean Yield before climatic risks zoning: 1991 a 1995 = 1808 Kg/haAverage soybean Yield after climatic risks zoning: 1996 e 2003 = 2744 Kg/ha..................26%

Global Data base: Temperature, rain
Imagery Technology:
Research to estimate rain, soil humidityand Real Evapotranspiration.
Combine high spectral with high temporal resolution (1-3 days, 500 m)
Common areas for climate/agroclimate research:Crop yields, soil humidity, forecast of extremes events, forecast models adapted to agriculture 10,15 and 30 days. Combine Meta-models with local models
