WMO RA VI Hydrology Forum
Workshop on hydrological modelling, forecasting and warnings
20 September 2016, Oslo, Norway
Session 1 "Hydrological forecasting, warning and communication with end-users”
- Meteoalarm, new challenges of preparing and dissemination of warnings and
cooperation with national or regional hydrological services – Michael Staudinger, Central
Institute for Meteorology and Geodynamics, Austria
- EFAS: European Flood Awareness System from research to operations. A
probabilistic pan European flood early warning system providing national water authorities with
information on probabilities of early flood warnings for large river basins with a medium range
lead time – Eric Sprokkereef, Rijkswaterstaat Water Management Center for the Netherlands
- Norwegian Flood and landslide Hazard Forecasting and Warning Service - Hervé
Colleuille, Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate, Norway
- Towards impact based warnings; examples from ARISTOTLE project and the
Swedish pilot study on impact based warnings – Richard Wylde, SMHI
- HEPEX: Hydrological Ensemble Prediction Experiment. An international initiative
bringing together hydrologists, meteorologists, researchers and end users to develop advanced
probabilistic hydrological forecast techniques for improved flood, drought and water
management – Femke Davids, Deltares, The Netherlands
- The Israel early warning system for floods – Amir Givati Israeli Hydrological Service, Water Autority
Session 2: "Remote Sensing and Hydrological Modelling, Forecasting and Warning"
- Challenges of remote sensing for hydrology: the SMOS and the SWOT missions. - Selma Cherchali and Ahmad AL Bitar, CESBIO (Centre d'Études Spatiales de la Biosphère), Toulouse, France
