Session 3 Decision Support Services at Subseasonal-to-Seasonal (S2S) Time Scales. Part I

Tuesday, 14 January 2020: 8:30 AM-10:00 AM
153A (Boston Convention and Exhibition Center)
Host: 25th Conference on Applied Climatology
Chair:
Rebecca Bolinger, Colorado State Univ., Atmospheric Science, Fort Collins, CO

S2S outlooks are becoming some of the most sought after forecasts by decision-makers, while the S2S time scale continues to be the most challenging to forecast. With  incremental improvements being made in the field of S2S forecasting research, applying this research into useful and useable products for stakeholders is still emerging. This topic would encourage presentations by those who are developing decision-support tools using S2S forecasts and outlooks. It could also be an opportunity to have an open forum on how to improve communication of uncertainty with current forecasts, while still making them useful.
