We then discuss the climate situation and some examples of climate adaptation in respectively Wareng/Gunungkidul, Yogyakarta, Central Java, for the La-Nina rainy season of 2008/2009 and in coastal Indramayu, west Java, for the El-Nino rainy season followed by a rather sudden La-Nina situation of 2009/2010.

In several missions with Prof. Zheng Dawei to various provinces from 2004, we prepared a preliminary project submission to the China Meteorological Administration (CMA) at the end of 2007. In those visits, in 2008 together with either Prof. Wang Shili or Mr. Ma Yuping, we collected information on agrometeorological services being developed in the Provincial Meteorological Services/Bureaus concerned (Ningxia, Hebei, Inner Mongolia, Jiangxi, Henan).

It has been mentioned in hundreds of scientific papers, many text books and newspaper articles and some documentaries. No publisher admin 2010-11-19T08:16:14Z News Item
