It is apparent that local climatic conditions have clear implications for agriculture. For this reason accurate information on local climate dynamics is essential for agricultural planning. This study introduces a methodology that aims to enhance microclimate monitoring through GPS networks. This paper describes this novel approach, its implications and presents some preliminary results. Authors propose a novel implementation of a weather monitoring system comprised of existing geodetic and meteorological sensors cooperative efforts, coordinated by roaming microclimate sensors. Such system shall be utilized for the real-time prediction of crucial and emergent phenomena for the agricultural industry. This system shall offer more accurate predictions with the use of spatial microclimate profiles and water vapor content estimates attained from GPS measures. Furthermore, a new session protocol based on SNMP protocol shall be used for data acquisition and a caster station for post processing and visualization purposes.
