Abstract
There are and will be no agrometeorological services and no agrometeorological action support systems without supportive scientific methodologies as workable tools and approaches. Modern assessments of climatic resources, water resources, soil resources and biomass resources are unthinkable without such technologies (Stigter et al. 2010). In a book like this, it is not about an explanatory approach to these methodologies but about exemplifying how these methods are supportively applied as tools and approaches; to get operational results in problem solving in the agricultural environment that is the livelihood of farmers. So it is shown how they guide certain fields towards the operational applications in Part III as well as how they contribute to derive the examples of Part II and make them work, including the related educational commitments.
