Abstract:Although frost can cause considerable crop damage, and practices have been developed to mitigate forecasted frost, frost forecasting technologies have not changed for years. This paper reports on a new method based on successive application of two models to forecast the number of monthly frost days for several Community of Madrid (Spain) meteorological stations. The first is an autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) stochastic model that forecasts minimum monthly absolute temperature (t min) and aver… Show more
“…In the present analysis, seasonal predictions for temperature and solar radiation resulted in potential benefits to farmers. Similar utility of temperature forecasting was observed for frost damage (Castellanos et al 2009;Kala et al 2009). …”
