Use of Weather Information for Agricultural Decision Making

Use of weather and climate information for agricultural planning and decision making

Landholders have long used weather and climate information, based on experience and intuition, for planning and decision making on land or crop management. Over recent times, the availability of data bases of historical climatic information and the development of predictive tools ranging from correlation analysis to computer simulation models have made the climatic information useful to a much ...

Information Use for Decision Making

How should we use information to make good decisions? Historically, the view has been that normatively superior decision making is the product of complex optimization processes that rationally consider and integrate all available information. Such optimization processes are well beyond the capabilities of mere mortals and in many cases are computationally intractable by any means. Fortunately, ...

Economic Value of Weather Forecast Information and Use of Forecast Information in Decision Making (Theme 3)

Decision-making in Flight with Different Convective Weather Information Sources:

This paper reports preliminary and partial results of a flight experiment to address how General Aviation (GA) pilots use weather cues to make flight decisions. This research presents pilots with weather cue conditions typically available to GA pilots in visual meteorological conditions (VMC) and instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) today, as well as in IMC with a Graphical Weather Inform...
