| Abstract: | Potential economic benefit exists from the use of seasonal climate forecasts in agriculture. To assess potential end user
attitudes toward and interests in climate data, and to provide inputs from users to the development of decision support tools,
we conducted a series of surveys. Survey results affected the design, development, and enhancement of AgClimate, a web-based decision support system for minimizing climate risks to agriculture. The overall process is an example of how
decision makers can participate in the research process, thereby improving the value and relevance of research products such
as decision support systems. |
