2 Aims  Integrate the interpolated information in SAR Geographic Information System  Using GIS for agroclimatic and ecosystems characterization of Sardinia  Evaluate several methods for precipitation and temperature spatial interpolation in Sardinia WORKSHOP ON CLIMATIC ANALYSIS AND MAPPING FOR AGRICULTURE (Bologna, Italy, 14-16 June 2005)

3 Reference activity Reference activity Experiences in COST 719 indicated the path that the authors have followed WORKSHOP ON CLIMATIC ANALYSIS AND MAPPING FOR AGRICULTURE (Bologna, Italy, 14-16 June 2005)

4 The GIS SAR GIS dataset is based on: SOIL information: land use, high resolution DEM (20 mt), ecopedological data WEATHER information: climatic data for 250 thermopluviometric stations for a 50 years period. agrometeorological data with high temporal resolution for 60 stations from 1995. SATELLITE information: NOAA and LANDSAT images. WORKSHOP ON CLIMATIC ANALYSIS AND MAPPING FOR AGRICULTURE (Bologna, Italy, 14-16 June 2005)

5 A few information about Sardinia  Sardinia is the second Mediterranean island, with approximately 2.5 million hectares with 1.6 million people. WORKSHOP ON CLIMATIC ANALYSIS AND MAPPING FOR AGRICULTURE (Bologna, Italy, 14-16 June 2005)  Sardinia is an ancient island and the long erosion processes caused the absence of high mountains. The territory is characterized above all by extended plateaus with elevation ranges between 300 and 1.000 meters.  The intensive agricultural areas are localized in the plains of west coast, but the widest hilly areas are interested by vineyards (36000 ha), olive groves (40000 ha) and intensive livestock breeding (1.5 million hectares with 3.5 million ewes).

6 The Sardinian Environment A typical Agricultural Ecosystem in plain coast areas WORKSHOP ON CLIMATIC ANALYSIS AND MAPPING FOR AGRICULTURE (Bologna, Italy, 14-16 June 2005)

7 The Sardinian Environment Husbandry Ecosystem in hilly areas WORKSHOP ON CLIMATIC ANALYSIS AND MAPPING FOR AGRICULTURE (Bologna, Italy, 14-16 June 2005)

8 The Sardinian Environment Natural Ecosystem in mountain areas WORKSHOP ON CLIMATIC ANALYSIS AND MAPPING FOR AGRICULTURE (Bologna, Italy, 14-16 June 2005)

9 The sea around the island is a source of climatic variation determining a coast-inland pattern. The latitudinal development of island (approximately 200 km) gives a climatic North-South pattern. WORKSHOP ON CLIMATIC ANALYSIS AND MAPPING FOR AGRICULTURE (Bologna, Italy, 14-16 June 2005) The elevation is particularly important on the east coast where steep mountains near the sea trigger East-West autumn precipitation pattern. Sardinian climate patterns

10 Data and Methods 59 temperature stations for the 1961-’90 period 59 temperature stations for the 1961-’90 period 199 precipitation stations for the same period 199 precipitation stations for the same period Interpolation techniques: Interpolation techniques:  Inverse Distance Weighted  Ordinary Kriging  Co-kriging  Linear Multiregressive Analysis with Residuals Kriging WORKSHOP ON CLIMATIC ANALYSIS AND MAPPING FOR AGRICULTURE (Bologna, Italy, 14-16 June 2005) The statistic comparison has been made on: The multiregression has been applied on elevation, latitude, longitude and sea distance on 250-meter grid points. The residuals of the regression model has been interpolated by Ordinary Kriging.

11 Methods validation approach A selection of stations, based on qualitative parameters, have been divided in two sets:  A training set where the interpolation techniques have been applied to give the parameters of the interpolating functions;  A verifying independent set in order to evaluate the goodness of the above functions; The assessment of each method has been carried out through Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and the Determination Coefficient r 2 between observed and predicted data for each station of the verifying set; WORKSHOP ON CLIMATIC ANALYSIS AND MAPPING FOR AGRICULTURE (Bologna, Italy, 14-16 June 2005)

12 For temperature field the methods have been verified using 39 meteorological stations for training set and 20 stations for the verifying set.

WORKSHOP ON CLIMATIC ANALYSIS AND MAPPING FOR AGRICULTURE (Bologna, Italy, 14-16 June 2005) Multiregression shows also the most significative determination coefficients No method is able to represent the summer spatial distribution of maximum temperature

There is no significant difference between Kriging, Co-Kriging and IDW maps. The multiregressive method applied on geomorphological variables shows the highest determination coefficient and allows a high spatial resolution

Nevertheless, the precipitation field on climatic scale seems to be function of geomorphological parameters but the randomness of this field does not suggest the use of this method with a high spatial resolution of the geomorphological variables grid.

26 Some consideration on interpolation techniques The best temperature interpolator is the multiregression analysis with residual kriging. Summer maximum temperatures, however, are poorly described by all the above methods. Due to its intrinsic randomness the precipitation field is more difficult to interpolate. The performances of the different methods appear to be season- dependent. WORKSHOP ON CLIMATIC ANALYSIS AND MAPPING FOR AGRICULTURE (Bologna, Italy, 14-16 June 2005)

27 Agroclimatic applications... Spatial interpolation of precipitation and temperature fields is the base of an agroclimatic analysis WORKSHOP ON CLIMATIC ANALYSIS AND MAPPING FOR AGRICULTURE (Bologna, Italy, 14-16 June 2005) The results obtained on temperature field are applied to build preliminary maps of some agroclimatic indexes

28 Indexes: Climatic Degree Days  T>0°C WORKSHOP ON CLIMATIC ANALYSIS AND MAPPING FOR AGRICULTURE (Bologna, Italy, 14-16 June 2005) This map shows the annual degree days calculated on monthly mean temperature above 0°C. About 65% of the island is over 5500 degree days. (degree days are important to evaluate the crop adaptability in specific areas)

29 WORKSHOP ON CLIMATIC ANALYSIS AND MAPPING FOR AGRICULTURE (Bologna, Italy, 14-16 June 2005) Indexes: Climatic Degree Days  T>10°C This map shows the areas with annual degree days calculated on monthly mean temperature above 10°C. About 67% of the island is over 2000 degree days

30 WORKSHOP ON CLIMATIC ANALYSIS AND MAPPING FOR AGRICULTURE (Bologna, Italy, 14-16 June 2005) Indexes: Huglin index (index of climatic suitability for grapevine based on degree days) Sardinia have few areas with Huglin value under 1500 (above 0.2%), suitable for producing champagne-type wine and early table grape. Over 30% of the island shows Huglin values over 2500, suitable for producing dessert wine.

31 WORKSHOP ON CLIMATIC ANALYSIS AND MAPPING FOR AGRICULTURE (Bologna, Italy, 14-16 June 2005) Indexes: Annual Evapotranspiration The Campidano plain and the north west of Barbagia are the areas with highest value of evapotranspiration (evapotranspiration is calculated by Hargreaves Samani equation on monthly interpolated temperature data)
