THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WEATHER FORECASTERS AND WEATHER ADVISORS,

Abstract

It is suggested that our improved, but still imperfect, knowledge of the atmosphere can best be transmitted by creating a link between the meteorologist and the user. This link, which has been personified by the term 'weather advisor,' would combine the operational requirements of the users with the weather information of the meteorologist to produce advisories with direct application to the problem. The application of decision theory to properly stated forecasts might well produce the best advisories.
