Climate change and bird phenology: a long‐term study in the Iberian Peninsula (2006, background): “Such anomalies have already been quantified by some authors (Nicholson, 1979; Tarhule & Lamb, 2003; Dai et al., 2004) and are available at http://tao.atmos.washington.edu/data_sets/sahel/ for the years 1898–2004.”
Economic Value of Seasonal Climate Forecasts for Agriculture: Review of Ex-Ante Assessments and Recommendations for Future Research (2008, background): “…farmers have identified a rich variety of promising production and livelihood decision responses to seasonal climate forecasts, particularly in smallholder farming systems in developing countries (e.g., Everingham et al. 2002; Ingram et al. 2002; Ngugi 2002; Tarhule and Lamb 2003; Ziervogel 2004).”
Creating usable science: Opportunities and constraints for climate knowledge use and their implications for science policy (2011, background): “For example, in the Sahel, use is still constrained by lack of access to information, but, more importantly, by the ability of potential users to respond to forecast information (Glantz, 1977; Tarhule and Lamb, 2003).”
Who can eat information? Examining the effectiveness of seasonal climate forecasts and regional climate-risk management strategies (2006, background): “The channels for information flows to a variety of end users, particularly small-scale farmers, has been relatively poor and continues to be limited, patchy and unsuccessful, in many countries (e.g. Thomson 2003).”
Innovations in Climate Risk Management: Protecting and Building Rural Livelihoods in a Variable and Changing Climate (2007, background): “…use and value of seasonal forecasts for smallholder agriculture in developing countries generally reveal a high level of awareness and interest in using forecast information, and have identified a range of promising management responses (e.g., Ngugi, 2002; Tarhule and Lamb, 2003; Ziervogel, 2004).”
Evaluating agricultural weather and climate services in Africa: Evidence, methods, and a learning agenda (2019, background): “…of agricultural tasks; the application of inputs, and the negotiation of annual loans (Egeru, 2016; Lo & Dieng, 2015; Mudombi & Nhamo, 2014; Patt et al., 2005; Phillips, Deane, Unganai, & Chimeli, 2002; Rao, Hansen, Njiru, Githungo, & Oyoo, 2015; Roncoli et al., 2002, 2009; Tarhule & Lamb, 2003).”
