Weather observation to reviewed advisory

Record a station reading against the alert threshold, submit it for review and publish only approved advisories.

Step by step

  1. Record the reading Farm Coordinator

    Farm Coordinator records the station, observation date, rainfall in inches and the alert threshold for the field operation it affects. The observation starts as Draft.

    • Observation created at Draft
    • Updates Weather observations, Field operations
  2. Submit for review Farm Coordinator

    The coordinator submits the observation. The submitted revision is the one the reviewer will decide on.

    • Draft → Submitted
    • Updates Weather observations
  3. Check against evidence Domain Reviewer

    The reading is compared with the evidence lines for the same operation, such as soil moisture or leaf wetness, before a decision is made.

    • Updates Weather observations, Agronomy evidence
  4. Approve or reject Domain Reviewer

    Domain Reviewer approves or rejects the observation and the decision date is recorded.

  5. Publish the advisory Operations Planner

Where it usually breaks

And how to keep it from happening.

  • The reading is entered against the wrong station or the wrong operation.
  • The alert threshold is copied from a different product.
  • Submitted observations wait too long on a spray morning, and crews act without an advisory.
  • A rejected reading is edited and treated as approved.
