SESAME
Cambodia
SESAME is a mobile and web based agricultural advisory digital solution built to provide early warning and advisory to farmers for making their day-to-day crop management. The solution uses numerical weather prediction outputs from the European Center for medium range weather forecast (ECMWF) with 10 days lead time, and from the Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) with 3 days lead time. Forecasts for precipitation, temperature, humidity, potential evapotranspiration parameters that are essential for agriculture are shown.
