Laver (2002) • $ Millions in Savings by Better Planning (Energy, Agriculture, Fishery, Sales, Recreation, Etc.) • Mitigate Losses from Wildfires Caused by Severe Drought • Save Lives and Reduce Property Damages Caused by Major Climate Anomalies (Drought, Flood, Heat Waves, and Winter Blizzards)

  5. Climate ServicesGoals/Targets to FY 12 Accuracy * On Track Low Risk High Risk

  6. Climate Services Key Information Gaps* • Influence of Land Surface Properties (Soil Moisture, Snow, Vegetation, Topography, Etc.) • Impact of Global Ocean Conditions (SST, Sea Ice, Etc.) • Internal Variability of Climate Modes (MJO, ENSO, AO/NAO, PDO, Interdecadal Variations, Etc.) • Understanding of Warm Season Climate System and Predictability Linking Climate with Weather & Water Climate Change Trends Land Ocean Water Cycle Climate Variability Weather Atmosphere Extreme Events Tropical Storms Droughts/Floods Tropics (MJO, ENSO) Extratropics (AO/NAO) (Based on W. Higgins 2002)
