H53A:
Advances in Hydrometeorological Extremes Forecasting: Estimation, Integrated Risk Analysis, and Applications III Posters


Session ID#: 11162

Session Description:
Floods and droughts affect millions of people each year and their impact is expected to grow in the coming decades. This session focuses on hydro-meteorological forecasting to support decision-making in flood and drought mitigation and sub-seasonal to seasonal management of water, environmental and energy resources. Progress may come in the form of enhanced understanding of flood/drought vulnerability, improved modeling, supporting datasets, ensemble techniques, and user communication. Research topics of interest include (1) estimation of flood and drought regimes, (2) downscaling and calibration of meteorological forecasts, (3) hydrologic modeling, including parameter estimation, (4) In situ and remotely sensed data assimilation, particularly of snow and streamflow, (5) Uncertainty quantification and forecast verification, (6) Post-processing of streamflow forecasts, (7) Risk analysis of socio-economic and environmental impacts  and decision support systems, (8) forecast communication.  Sponsoring initiatives include HEPEX (http://www.hepex.org) and FloodNet (http://www.nsercfloodnet.ca).
