Preface

Models of Yield Production is one of the fields covered by the Agriculture Project of the Institute for Remote Sensing Applications at the Joint Research Centre of the Commission of the European Communities in Ispra (Italy). The goal of one of the studies in this field (see operation 3.2 in the MARS Project Call for Proposals: General Conditions and Detailed Specifications of August 1990) was to provide the Agriculture Project with a software package able to perform decoding, filing and quality evaluation of actual meteorological data which are used as input for agro-meteorological models. For this purpose the Actual Meteorological Database Construction (AMDaC) package is developed by MeteoConsult (Wageningen, The Netherlands), which is described in this manual.
