However, taking these advances forward into applications is rarely straightforward and, even with the best efforts, there often remains a mismatch between what a decision maker requires and what prediction product can be provided. A growing body of literature is describing the challenges and successes of co-producing forecast products with decision makers in order to reduce these mismatches. Typically, these co-production efforts are part of developing applications for an already-achieved prediction advance. It is less common for on-ground decision requirements to directly inform more basic research and drive the prediction science advances that a given sector requires. First Rains is a new rainfall onset project trialing a decision-first approach to set basic science research pathways. The project includes development of kilometre-scale S2S model ensembles and new onset metrics for southern Africa. This contribution will discuss this decision-first approach in the context of a prediction science project, with examples of early challenges and successes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Co-authors:<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;344&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; onclick=&#8221;custom_link&#8221; link=&#8221;http:\/\/s2sprediction.net\/&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;345&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; onclick=&#8221;custom_link&#8221; link=&#8221;https:\/\/public.wmo.int\/en&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;346&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; onclick=&#8221;custom_link&#8221; link=&#8221;https:\/\/community.wmo.int\/activity-areas\/wwrp&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;347&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; onclick=&#8221;custom_link&#8221; link=&#8221;https:\/\/www.wcrp-climate.org\/&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;348&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;349&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; onclick=&#8221;custom_link&#8221; link=&#8221;https:\/\/www.reading.ac.uk\/&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Abstract ID: 247 When on-ground decision making shapes S2S prediction research pathways Lead Author: Neil Hart University of Oxford, United Kingdom Keywords: rainfall onset, convective-scale, Africa Abstract: Remarkable advances in&#8230;<a class=\"read-more\" href=\"&#104;&#116;&#116;&#112;&#115;&#58;&#47;&#47;&#114;&#101;&#115;&#101;&#97;&#114;&#99;&#104;&#46;&#114;&#101;&#97;&#100;&#105;&#110;&#103;&#46;&#97;&#99;&#46;&#117;&#107;&#47;&#115;&#50;&#115;&#45;&#115;&#117;&#109;&#109;&#105;&#116;&#50;&#48;&#50;&#51;&#47;&#112;&#114;&#111;&#103;&#114;&#97;&#109;&#109;&#101;&#47;&#97;&#98;&#115;&#116;&#114;&#97;&#99;&#116;&#50;&#52;&#55;&#47;\">Read More ><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":145,"featured_media":0,"parent":528,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"__cvm_playback_settings":[],"__cvm_video_id":"","footnotes":""},"coauthors":[13],"class_list":["post-1212","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8.1 -
