A seasonal year is the time between successive recurrences of a seasonal event such as the flooding of a river, the migration of a species of bird, the flowering of a species of plant, the first frost, or the first scheduled game of a certain sport.
A tropical year is the time for the Earth to complete one revolution with respect to the framework provided by the intersection of the ecliptic (the plane of the orbit of the Earth) and the plane of the equator (the plane perpendicular to the rotation axis of the Earth).
The draconitic year, eclipse year or ecliptic year is the time for the Sun (as seen from the Earth) to complete one revolution with respect to the same lunar node (a point where the Moon's orbit intersects the ecliptic).

Calendars usually aim to predict the seasons, but because it is hard to determine the length of the seasonal year, they instead use an astronomical year as a surrogate for the seasonal year.

 The Income Side of Seasonal vs. Year-Round Pasture-based Milk Production
Seasonal production is based on a 12-month pattern where all cows are bred to calve in an approximate 60-day window and then the whole herd is dried off at the same time.
Seasonal dairy producers freshening the entire herd in February and March and reaching peak production in April and May will routinely sell the majority of their milk at the lowest seasonal prices.
Seasonal dairy producers will have to carry the extra costs of paying for quality labor during the dry-period when activities are limited.

 SEASONAL AND YEAR-TO-YEAR FLUCTUATIONS OF BIRD POPULATIONS AND GUILDS IN THE MONTE DESERT, ARGENTINA   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
In this paper I analyze the seasonal and year-to-year fluctuations of bird populations and guilds, and their possible relationship with resource levels, to detect evidence of ecological saturation and equilibrium in bird assemblages of the Monte Desert.
In the breeding season, instead, granivore density was positively and significantly correlated with the two estimates of seed bio- mass.
These guilds, however, would track quite closely the seasonal variations in their resources: winters would be periods of arthropod shortage and a great number of arthropod consumers would abandon the reserve in such season.

 Amazon.com: The Celtic Druids' Year: Seasonal Cycles of the Ancient Celts: Books: John King,Blandford   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
King's focus is on the wheel of the Celtic year with its cycle of four celebrations: the fire feast of Lughnasa; the still-celebrated festival of the dead, Sarnhain (Halloween); the feast of the herds at Imbolc; and the wild abandon of Beltane, with its maypoles.
It is logical, to me at least, that for an agricultural society they would celebrate in the summer when food was plentiful and the days long; not in the winter when they were possibly starving and living off of the meager rations that they could eat from the salting of meat.
King's most notable (and controversial) idea is that New Year Celebrations were held at mid-summer, contrary to the popular belief that New Year arrived at Samhain.

 USATODAY.com - Aventis to make flu vaccine year-round   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Aventis Pasteur (AVE), the world's largest flu vaccine manufacturer and the sole supplier of flu shots to the USA this year, will begin preparing for year-round production under a $10 million contract announced Tuesday with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Because flu is seasonal, year-round vaccine production has not been a priority, but this year's drastic shortage and the threat of a pandemic emerging from the avian flu outbreak in Asia have given urgency to the need to shore up vaccine production.
The contract announced Tuesday was negotiated before Chiron, which was expected to deliver up to 48 million doses of vaccine this year, had its license suspended by British health authorities on Oct. 5, plunging the USA into an unprecedented flu vaccine shortage.
