We would like to call your attention to the session titled "GC015
Decadal Climate Predictions for Hydroclimatic Risk Management: State of
the Science and User Needs" at the forthcoming AGU Annual Meeting, 3-7
December 2012, in San Francisco.
Session description:
Climate over the next decade will be dominated by natural variability
rather than anthropogenic forcing. Predictability at decadal timescales
is challenging but critical for decision makers in water resources,
energy, and environment, especially in the face of persistent
flood/drought conditions. This session aims to promote a dialog between
climate scientists and risk managers. We welcome presentations on
climate needs for improved flood/drought preparedness, risk management
or decision systems for interannual-to-decadal time horizons, and
advances in decadal climate predictions, including sources of
predictability tied to terrestrial prediction skill and assessments of
model reliability.
