Progress and Challenges of Demand-Led Co-Produced Sub-Seasonal-to-Seasonal (S2S) Climate Forecasts in Nigeria

Frontiers in Climate, 2021
This paper identifies fundamental issues which prevent the effective uptake of climate information services in Nigeria. We propose solutions which involve the extension of short-range (1 to 5 days) forecasts beyond that of medium-range (7 to 15 days ...

Using Seasonal Forecast as an Adaptation Strategy: Gender Differential Impact on Yield and Income in Senegal

Atmosphere, 2020
The use of seasonal forecast has been demonstrated as a good option to reduce the effects of climate variability in sub-Saharan African countries. However, its use, benefits and interests may be different depending on gender. This paper aims at analyzing

Seasonal prediction of lake inflows and rainfall in a hydro-electricity catchment, Waitaki river, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2010
The Waitaki River is located in the centre of the South Island of New Zealand, and hydro-electricity generated on the river accounts for 35-40% of New Zealand's electricity. Low inflows in 1992 and 2001 resulted in the threat of power blackouts. Improved

Integration of seasonal precipitation forecast information into local-level agricultural decision-making using an agent-based model to support community adaptation

Climate Risk Management, 2022
Accessibility and variability of water resources can have profound impacts on social, political, and economic security. In regions with pronounced climate variability (e.g., seasonal and inter-annual variability in precipitation), seasonal climate ...

How seasonal forecast could help a decision maker: an example of climate service for water resource management [PDF]

Advances in Science and Research, 2016
The FP7 project EUPORIAS was a great opportunity for the climate community to co-design with stakeholders some original and innovative climate services at seasonal time scales. In this framework, Météo-France proposed a prototype that aimed to provide to

Enhancing Forecast Skill of Winter Temperature of East Asia Using Teleconnection Patterns Simulated by GloSea5 Seasonal Forecast Model

Atmosphere, 2023
GloSea5, a seasonal forecast system of the UK Met Office, shows reasonable skill among state-of-the-art operational seasonal forecast systems. However, the average surface temperature (T2m) in winter (December–February) of GloSea5 is particularly low in ...
