Description
Summary:[...]the climate processes and/or phenomena that drive the variability on different time scales are different. Often resource management decisions are constrained by policy (Rayner et al. 2005), but since decadal variability and climate change are relatively new considerations for lawmakers, policy may be less restrictive for the longer-time-scale decisions. [...]increased action and uptake of climate information on longer time scales may actually allow for policy reform that could make it less difficult for action on seasonal climate information.
