Abstract
The aim of this project was to determine the development alternatives of weather forecasting services for peat production. Two different radar systems, the weather radar and marine radar, have been chosen for this research. The delivery costs of a small sized marine radar are low (60 000 FIM), so it might be used as working site equipment on largest production areas. The modern weather radar is more expensive, and hence it might be used as the basic equipment for a regional rain warning system. An alternative for regional system is to develop the peat weather forecast to be a more real-time forecast than before. An operable information delivery network is essential for a regional rain warning system, by which a warning for rain threat can be delivered to production control fast. The both chosen alternatives are tested in this research. Especially, the results obtained from small sized marine radar have been positive. The obtained benefits are based on s.c. safety ridging method, in which the part of the harvest that best fulfills the moisture and quality requirement is saved. The benefit of an operable rain warning system is estimated to be about 30 FIM/ha for the peat contractor, and 300
