Development and Application of Highland Agricultural Productivity Index in Gangwon-do
In this research, we analyzed the relation between agricultural productivity and climatological data in highlands of Pyeongchang, Gangwon-do. Highland agricultural productivity index (HAPI) was developed using existing agriculture climate index and observation data set. Climate modeling system was constructed for simulations over complex mountainous terrain. Additionally a relation between the productivity and spatial HAPI was studied. The result shows a close corelation between temperature, important for vegetable growth, and vegetable productivity. Climate simulation was performed and the computed 10 years data were compared with data from regional meteorological office in Daegwallyeong. Using the result the HAPI was estimated for each grid (1 km) of the model domain.
