Advisory Group on the Hydrology
The Advisory Group on Hydrology (AG-Hydro) oversees and coordinates the hydrology infrastructure of the WMO Plan of Action, focusing on integrating monitoring, data, and prediction systems (WIGOS, WIS, WIPPS) into Earth System models. It advises on priorities, supports expert engagement, coordinates with partners, and guides capacity development and training in hydrology.
