How decadal predictions entered the climate services arena: an example from the agriculture sector.

ABSTRACT: Predicting the variations in climate for the coming 1-10 years is of great interest for decision makers, as this time horizon coincides with the strategic planning of stakeholders from climate-vulnerable sectors such as agriculture.
