Abstract

Climate variability and change projections from NASA global climate models (GCMs) and mission output can provide solutions for agricultural agencies mandated to promote agricultural efficiency and protect against agricultural risk. Greater agricultural efficiency can be achieved through greater understanding of global climate and weather, provided climate and weather forecasts are accurate and timely and go to the agricultural decision-makers responsible for food and water management.
