The Value of Meteorological Information in Agrarian Producers’ Decision Making: Introducing Analytic Decision Models

The value of weather information is relevant to society (Leviakangas and Hautala in Meteorol Appl 16:369–379, 2009; Frei in Meteorol Appl 17:39–44, 2010; Wu et al. in Sci World J, 2014), both because of its influence on agriculture (Regnier in Omega 36:22–32, 2008) and on water resources (Freebairn and Zillman 2002). Meteorological information affects agrarian production due to its capacity of modifying their decisions.
