SPC SOPAC Published Report, 185. Economic Dimensions of Improved Meteorological Services in the Pacific

Holland Paula - Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC), 2014

Investment in meteorological services can generate widespread benefits for a community. These may take the form of small daily improvements in the lives of citizens and businesses (such as improved farming outlooks) as well as occasional benefits from improved planning for severe events.
Due to the diversity of ways that meteorological services can improve lives, it is not possible to determine with certainty their benefits. However, illustrations of the magnitude of the types of benefits may be identified.
