English

Subject field(s)
  • Climatology
  • Meteorological Forecasting, Data Measurement and Analysis
CONT

Public policy is often created to try to influence a desired outcome. Unquestionably, it makes good sense to do all that we can to retain the predictability of our climate. Climate is our ally. If we threaten that alliance, we could jeopardize the very climatic conditions upon which nations plan themselves.

OBS

Not to be confused with the concept of predictive capability (e.g. of a model).

Key term(s)

French

CONT

[...] la prévisibilité du climat n'est pas aussi limitée, en raison de l'influence systématique exercée sur l'atmosphère par les diverses composantes du système climatique, à l'évolution plus lente.

CONT

En matière de prévisibilité du climat, il faut noter que le Service Météorologique du BENIN ne dispose pas d'outil approprié pour élaborer la prévision du climat.

OBS

La prévisibilité du climat dépend directement de la stabilité de ce même climat.
