Our research is vibrant to come up with tools required for application
of climate information in the decision making process.
In recent years, understanding the relevance and
usability of climate information has become a key research topic, increasing the number of activities exploring this subject directly with users.
Its goal is to foster the enhancement and
incorporation of climate information and prediction into planning, policy and practice on the global, regional, national and local scales.
In any case, the principal components should be constructed to achieve a low - dimensional representation of the entire set of proxy variables that incorporates
most of the climate information contained therein.
The meeting served as a platform to identify current
uses of climate information in water management and to provide an overview at which scales climate information has the greatest potential for use now and the near future.
I think the most important take - home message from the workshop is that the stake holders and end
users of climate information should not look at just one simulation from global climate models, or just one downscaling method.
Our team integrated expertise in applied climatology, crop modeling, agronomy, cyber-technology, agricultural economics, sociology, Extension and outreach, communication, and marketing to improve the use and
uptake of climate information for agricultural decision making.
One of the intermittent features of the supplemental
State of the Climate information is the «when was your warmest / coolest / wettest / driest season on record?»
The Climateurope Festival 2017 offers a varied 2 1/2 day programme of discussions, lectures, networking and performances to explore the state - of - the -
art of climate information, and its uses and value in decision - making at both the European and national levels.
There will also be a one - stop - shop climate data store to host the
wealth of climate information and climate indicators that C3S will generate in partnership with suppliers and users.
To enable society to better manage the risks and opportunities arising from changes in climate, engagement between the users and the providers
of climate information needs to be much more effective and should better link climate information with decision - making.
«It's been the most challenging month in the 27 years I've been a climatologist,» says Neil Plummer, assistant
director of the Climate Information Service at the Australian Bureau of Meteorology in Melbourne.
In summary, the apparent desire of some to limit the
flow of climate information is probably counterproductive and will likely only succeed in alienating the scientists who are at the base of NASA's mission and generating bad publicity.
When proxy PCs are employed, neither the time period used to «center» the data before PC calculation nor the way the PC calculations are performed significantly affects the results, as long as the full
extent of the climate information actually in the proxy data is represented by the PC time series.
So now, to foster discussion on such information fights, I'm providing the fresh
example of a climate information request, provided to me by someone at NASA who thought it was intrusive (Freedom of Information requests are public documents...).
The IEA, based at University of Reading, has been appointed to lead a major project to understand what
sort of climate information organisations need to make better decisions.
At the end of the talk, the presenter listed the main barriers faced by users in the application of seasonal predictions, which have a lot to do with the lack of communication and the difficulties to match the user expectations in
terms of climate information.
Many decision makers, businesses and the general public are increasingly aware of the
relevance of climate information to them, be it to manage risks or identify opportunities arising from climate - related hazards, from climate variability and climate change, or to increase their understanding of the climate system.
The three - day workshop will evaluate how climate and agricultural extension advisories are produced and conveyed, emphasizing farming community involvement in the
development of climate information and extension messaging.
The reduction of the so - called emissions gap demands (some)
disclosure of climate information and has been quickly helped by 15 of the G20 countries instituting mandatory climate change reporting.
The e-mails revealed them discussing some of the uncertainties in centuries
worth of climate information gleaned from tree rings and other sources.
To accomplish this, we require a comprehensive
foundation of climate information and downscaling capability that must be continually improved in step with the evolution of climate modelling and downscaling science.
Enhancing linkages with other research organizations dealing with marine and aquatic resources through creation of awareness on
factoring of climate information and early warning products in national and regional marine / aquatic management policies.
In the Second Talk, Dr. Eddy Moors, from the Alterra - Wageningen University (the Netherlands), started his presentation explaining that in climate service research a large
amount of climate information has been prepared and adapted to provide information more usable by and accessible to users.
PRIMAVERA is a Horizon2020 project which aims to improve the
quality of climate information available for planning, adaptation and risk mitigation purposes.
However, the higher - variance variables tend to make correspondingly higher contributions to the principal components, so the decision whether to equalize variances or not should be based on the scientific
considerations of the climate information represented in each of the proxies.
Report is the latest independent analysis to clear climate scientists of allegations of mishandling of climate information
This direct interaction with
users of climate information, including the interpretation of future climate variability and change for specific user needs, often results in the delivery of user - commissioned reports that are available via our Publications Library.
