1 Clyde Fraisse Agricultural & Biological Engineering Climate Information & Decision Support Systems

2 Dual-purpose of Climate DSS Education Service C. W. Fraisse, UF-IFAS

3 Drivers of climate variability and change (ENSO, long-term climate projections) Effects and potential implications on the SE Climate and worldwide Impacts of variability/change on agricultural commodities and water resources Risk mitigation and adaptation strategies Improve resource use efficiency (irrigation management, carbon & water footprints) Education Components How cover crops, pasture-based rotation systems, variable rate irrigation help mitigating climate-related risk? C. W. Fraisse, UF-IFAS

4 Climate monitoring Short-term and seasonal forecasts Translation to ag- related variables (Degree-days, chill hours, crop yield) Alert systems (freezes, disease risk) Service Components NOAA monitors the Pacific Ocean but UF-IFAS monitors your field! C. W. Fraisse, UF-IFAS

5 Our top challenge is to translate climate information into decisions Monitoring & Weather Forecast What field can I work on this afternoon? When can I plant my seeds? Should I apply N fertilizer to my fields? Will it be dry enough to harvest? Should I cut hay today? Cold protection tonight? C. W. Fraisse, UF-IFAS Flooded peanut field. Doug Mayo – August 2013. Blueberry freeze, UF-IFAS, February 2002.

6 Our top challenge is to translate climate information into decisions Seasonal Climate Forecast Strategic Decisions Best crop/variety to plant this season? How much should I invest in fertilizer? How to apply N? Should I purchase/increase crop insurance coverage? Marketing decisions? Should I invest in winter pasture or feed? C. W. Fraisse, UF-IFAS

7 Our VERY top challenge is to translate climate change projections into decisions Long-term Climate Projections ? ? C. W. Fraisse, UF-IFAS * Decisions at the producer level, not in terms of national policy and long-term planning Making *decisions based on long-term climate projections is much more difficult! One of the main reasons for extension faculty to be reluctant about addressing climate change issues is the lack of “practical solutions”

8 Our VERY top challenge is to translate climate change projections into decisions Long-term Climate Projections ? ? How do I become more resilient to climate extremes? Should I invest in land somewhere else? C. W. Fraisse, UF-IFAS Making *decisions based on long-term climate projections is much more difficult! One of the main reasons for extension faculty to be reluctant about addressing climate change issues is the lack of “practical solutions” C. W. Fraisse, UF-IFAS * Decisions at the producer level, not in terms of national or regional planning

9 Dual-Purpose of Climate DSS – Our Vision Timeframe Priority / Intensity Climate Monitoring Short-term forecast Seasonal Decadal Long-term climate projection Service Education Should we concentrate efforts here? C. W. Fraisse, UF-IFAS Fraisse et al. 2014. Dual-purpose of climate DSS (in preparation).

12 Different Perspectives of the Same Problem Timeframe Temporal resolution Climate Monitoring Short-term forecast Seasonal Decadal Long-term climate projection Information Temporal Resolution C. W. Fraisse, UF-IFAS

13 Adaptation Strategies (seasonal variability and climate change) Resilient production systems One Cropping Season Multiple Cropping Seasons One to several generations Weather Monitoring & Forecast Climate Change Weather monitoring Short term forecast Climate change scenarios Scale of climate variability Seasonal Climate Variability Our Vision for AgroClimate Seasonal forecast Producers, Natural Resource Managers From climate variability to climate change: Challenges and opportunities to extension (Fraisse et al. 2009).

16 Examples of questions that AgroClimate can help answering 1.Effects of the El Niño Southern Oscillation in our climate? 2.Levels of water stress in the SE? 3.Typical carbon footprint of corn produced in the SE USA? 4.Current strawberry disease risk? Should I apply fungicide? 5.Best peanut planting dates during La Niña years (water stress)? C. W. Fraisse, UF-IFAS
