Abstract

Though probability weather forecasts such as seasonal forecasts offer several benefits over categorical forecasts, they have not been used effectively in practical application. A new type of probability forecast named early warning information on extreme weather has started service in Japan. It has much more information available than previous seasonal forecasts. This paper describes a way of decision making using early warning information on extreme weather, and considers inventory management at a small shop as an example.
