Agromet Decision Support System (ADSS)
Bhutan
The Agromet Decision Support System (ADSS) of Bhutan is one of the key components of the Agro-meteorology Program. It was developed mainly to strengthen agro-met services. The web-based system (www.agromet.gov.bt) integrates weather forecast from NCHM and RIMES forecast. It provides real time monitoring, data analysis and comprehensive analytical tools and statistical information to support decision making across a range of temporal and spatial scales. This system is supported by the World Bank and powered by RIMES (regional integrated multi-hazard early warning system for Africa and Asia) which is an intergovernmental institution owned and managed by its member states, for building capacities in the generation and application of user-relevant early warning.
