Using Climate Forecasts for Drought Management
Drought hazards, and the ability to mitigate them with advance warning, offer potentially valuable applications of climate forecast products. Yet the value is often untapped, owing to the gap between climate science and societal decisions. This study bridged that gap; it determined forecast needs among water managers, translated forecasts to meet those needs, and shaped drought decision making ...
متن کاملEmergency Management Decision Biases for Climate and Weather Forecasts
Emergency managers who work on weather-related disasters comprise an important audience for climate forecasts. This paper examine how such emergency managers—a class of experts who routinely deal with uncertain information—interpret weather forecasts as well as longer-range forecasts of seasonal climate anomalies such as El Niño events. We rely on a national-level survey of county emergency man...
متن کاملFreight transport development forecasts in enterprises management
In this study, an investigation of long-term forecasts relating to the development of the transport sector in Poland is performed, including the ones by 2030 and 2050. Selected transport development forecasts from the perspective of the membership of Poland in the European Union are presented and most of all, from the perspective of national studies. The basement for the review was the prognosi...
متن کاملUsing Climate Predictions in Great Lakes Hydrologic Forecasts
The Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory’s (GLERL’s) Advanced Hydrologic Prediction System (AHPS) illustrates the technology for those interested in using climate predictions in water resources decisions. It provides 1—6-month probability outlooks for 25 hydrology variables over the 121 watersheds and 7 lake surfaces of the Great Lakes basin, including simultaneous water levels on all ...
متن کاملImproved regional water management utilizing climate forecasts: An interbasin transfer model with a risk management framework
Regional water supply systems undergo surplus and deficit conditions due to differences in inflow characteristics as well as due to their seasonal demand patterns. This study proposes a framework for regional water management by proposing an interbasin transfer (IBT) model that uses climate-informationbased inflow forecast for minimizing the deviations from the end-of-season target storage acro...
