Task Team on Hydrology Research
The WMO Research Board (RB) Task Team on Hydrology Research (TT-HydroResearch)
TT-HydroResearch was established to coordinate with the hydrology activities within the World Weather Research Programme, World Climate Research Programme and the Global Atmosphere Watch Programme. Additionally, it will facilitate linkages between the WMO Research Board (RB) and global and regional hydrological research initiatives.
In summary, the Task Team has a number of clear objectives:
1) Review, update and oversee the implementation of WMO Hydrology Research Strategy 2022-2030
2) Review, update and oversee the implementation of the actions related to the WMO RB in the WMO Plan of Action for Hydrology
3) Recommend the establishment of a subsidiary body (Expert Team) or research program under the Research Board to lead WMO's Hydrology Research Agenda
4) Identify research priorities for improving hydrological predictions across spatial scales and time horizons

The Task Team has a global membership and meets virtually, typically in two parallel 'east' and 'west' sessions held on the same day.
