**5.3. Soil temperature and its anomaly at different depths**

Presently, 153 stations are recording soil temperature at different depths at 07 LMT and 14 LMT. Soil temperatures recorded at these stations are used for spatial spread on a pan India mode using GIS software at different depths (5, 10 and 20 cm) which are depicted in **Figure 7**.

modules:

**a.** spatial database generation.

**d.** agromet advisories preparation.

**a.** Spatial database generation This module has tools for

**c.** hydrological analysis,

**b.** weather information map preparation,

The details of the modules are mentioned as follows:

An interactive web-GIS-based spatial decision support system (SDSS) is being developed to cater to various requirements of IMD in the field of agriculture, hydrology, weather forecasting, pest and disease forecasting. This software has the facility for digitisation, editing, interpolation and advisory generation and dissemination. The system has the following
