Since the relocation project of equipment in 2011, the overall circumstances of KMA’s agrometeorological
observation have been significantly improved. Some concerns, however, emerged as a result of the evaluation
of observational circumstances in terms of quality assurance after the field surveys on all stations. In order
to improve the situation, we suggest: (1) establishment of clear management responsibilities, (2)
enhancement of mutual cooperation system between relevant organizations, (3) detailed records of the
changes in the observational circumstances, (4) standardization of equipment and sensors, (5) installation of
unified information boards, (6) transfer of inappropriate facilities to an adjacent cropland and (7) setup of
automated evaporation pan. In order to effectively utilize the high-quality data obtained through
improvement of observational circumstances and an elaborate quality control, it is recommended to publish
and disseminate regular reports on agrometeorological observations. To produce such a report on a trial
basis, we have investigated different types of regular reports issued by domestic and foreign organizations,
publication periods, geographical scope, main contents and amount. Based on our current situation, it would
be beneficial to learn from the cases of Germany and Canada, which summarize mainly the distinctive
agrometeorological phenomena occurred over the past years across the country.
