Outreach
IRI has provided outreach regarding seasonal climate predictions
through lectures, seminars, newsletters, website, email and through
popular writing. We have provided a quarterly newsletter
on climate for South Asia for the last several years. A climate digest
has been developed summarizing current information for Asia in the
IRI global climate digests and other information. We are also
supporting training and research as described elsewhere.
