[Grad-postdoc-assn] EGU session on Coupled atmosphere-hydrological modeling for improved hydro-meteorological predictions

[Francesca Viterbo - NOAA Affiliate]

Dear colleagues,



we would like to invite you to consider to submit an abstract at our
session at EGU 2018 on "Coupled atmosphere-hydrological modeling for
improved hydro-meteorological predictions” (
http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2018/session/26671).



We would like to invite for abstracts to encurage the discussion on coupled
atmosphere-hydrology modeling among different groups worldwide, model
systems and coupling approaches.

It is a co-organized session within the Natural Hazards-, Atmospheric
Sciences- and Hydrological Sciences Divisions.



Yours sincerely,



 Francesca Viterbo, CIRES-NOAA/USA

 David Gochis, NCAR/USA

 Harald Kunstmann, KIT & University of Augsburg/Germany





 The session description is as follows:

Prediction skill of hydro-meteorological forecasting systems has remarkably
improved in recent decades. Advances in both weather and hydrology models,
linked to the availability of more powerful and efficient computational
resources, allowed the development of even more complex systems based on
the combination of spatially distributed physically-based hydrologic and
hydraulic models with deterministic and/or ensemble meteorological
forecasts. In particular, among the emerging paradigms in the modeling of
atmospheric and hydrological processes, fully-coupled modeling is a topic
of growing interest among hydrometeorologists, hydroclimatologists and
traditional hydrologists alike, because the possibility of including
groundwater and soil moisture redistribution feedback in the lower boundary
condition of meteorological models portends an improvement in process
representation of water and energy fluxes modeling between land and the
atmosphere. The improvement of hydrometeorological process representation
and forecasts is one of the main purposes of the development of novel,
fully two-way dynamically coupled atmospheric-hydrological modeling systems.
The primary objective of the session is to create a valuable opportunity
for the interdisciplinary exchange of ideas and experiences among
atmospheric-hydrological modelers and members of both hydrology and Earth
System modeling communities. Contributions are invited dealing with the
complex and cyclical interactions between surface water, groundwater and
regional climate, with a specific focus on those presenting work on the
development or application of one-way (both deterministic and ensemble) or
fully-coupled hydrometeorological prediction systems for flood, flash-flood
and water resources prediction. Presentations of intercomparisons between
one-way and fully-coupled hydrometeorological chains are particularly
encouraged, such as contributions on novel one-way and fully-coupled
modeling systems that bridge spatial scales through dynamic regridding or
upscaling/downscaling methodologies. Finally, presentations about on-field
experiments and testbeds equipped with complex sensors and measurement
systems allowing multi-variable validation of such complex modeling systems
are also welcome.
