A prototype climate information system
A prototype Climate Information System (CIS) is developed to manage and display climatic data as part of the Navy's Tactical Environmental Support System (TESS). The CIS reduces the time and effort required to locate, ingest and analyze climatic data. The CIS remedies accessibility problems of …

Investigating the impacts of climate services among commercial and smallholder farmers to improve the uptake of climate information
Climate change has impacts on agricultural production through changes in precipitation, temperature, carbon dioxide fertilisation, surface water runoff, and climate variability. These changes affect the ability of a region's agricultural sector to sustain production. South Africa is particularly …

Leveraging improved seed technology, migration and climate information for building the adaptive capacity and resilience to climate risks in semi-arid regions
Droughts induced by climate change will most likely push dryland ecosystems beyond their biophysical thresholds and lead to long-term decline in agricultural productivity. Subsistence farming in developing countries where agricultural productivity is low will become less viable for many families …

Climate change information and analyst expectations
… facilitate the processing and impounding of climate information into financial expectations. Using survey data from CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project) about firms’ self-identified climate-related risks along with over 1 million analyst reports from ThomsonOne, I find climate …

A Systematic Evaluation of Climate Services and Decision Support Tools for Climate Change Adaptation
Climate services, often refers as decision support tools, are developed to provide information with a view to aid in decision making and policy planning for adaptation due to climate variability and change. This study investigated different publicly available climate services and decision support …

Heuweltjies : a window into the palaeoclimate and palaeovegetation of the Western Cape?
Late Pleistocene terrestrial climate information in the Western Cape. South Africa may be preserved in oxygen and carbon isotope ratios in paedogenic calcrete that bas Conned in zeuweltjies (large circular earth mounds). He11weltjles are common landscape features and their potential as …

Contesting transdisciplinary climate knowledge: a decolonial perspective on the FRACTAL project in Windhoek, Namibia
… its analysis. In a novel approach to contesting climate knowledge, the study sought to deconstruct the foundational concepts that are operationalised in the transdisciplinary knowledge generation. The analysis focused on tracing assumptions to identify imaginaries, that construct the geopolitical …

From the Mundane to the Profound: Developing a Political Model of Weather Information Processing and Climate Change Beliefs
… between the mundane, our daily habits of weather information collection, and the profound, our beliefs about climate change and relevant policy solutions. Climate change is a hotly contested, highly partisan policy issue which results in many conflicting models of information processing. Weather …

An Overview and Evaluation of SynthETC: A Statistical Model for Extra-Tropical Cyclones
… a Poisson process, whose mean is determined by climate and historical information. Tracks are modeled as a regression-mean determined by climate and historical information plus a stochastic component. Lysis is modeled using logistic regression, with climate states as covariates. Intensity is …

ASSESSING THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN ATTENTIONAL BIAS TO CLIMATE CHANGE IMAGES AND CLIMATE ANXIETY
… levels of threat when in an anxious state. Climate change is a massive and timely problem with changes in the temperature of oceans and precipitation as well as warming of the Earth. These impacts can lead to climate anxiety. This project aimed to extend previous research regarding …

Insolation, Precipitation, and Moisture Maps for a Virginia Geographic Information System
Climate information is valuable in understanding the ecology of systems affecting wildlife. This information is often unavailable at the landscape scale. This study evaluated the applicability of several climate factor estimates at the landscape-scale, and illustrated the usefulness of estimated …

Predicting diarrhoea outbreak with climate change
Climate change is expected to exacerbate diarrhoea outbreak in South Africa, a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the region. In this study, we modelled the impacts of climate change on diarrhoea with machine learning methods. We applied two deep learning techniques, convolutional neural …
