What is the value of seasonal forecasts for water resources management?

February 19, 2021 Ilias Pechlivanidis Comments 0 Comment

Contributed by Andres Peñuela, Christopher Hutton and Francesca Pianosi Improved skill of predictions for the North Atlantic circulation and Northern Europe have motivated an increasing effort to improve seasonal weather forecasting systems. Seasonal weather forecasts are expected to be useful for a range of purposes, including to improve the management of water resource systems. To contribute to the assessment of seasonal forecasts value for water managers, we ran a simulation exercise investigating how they could integrate seasonal forecast products in…

October 15, 2020 Ilias Pechlivanidis Comments 0 Comment

Contributed by Georgia Papacharalampous and Hristos Tyralis We would firstly like to thank HEPEX for giving us the opportunity to set a background on how machine learning can be used in probabilistic hydrological forecasting. In this blog post, we start by providing the schematic summary of the discussion given below. Hope you will enjoy the reading! Learning practical problems with data: A machine learning algorithm can be explicitly trained for probabilistic hydrological forecasting Let’s suppose one of our most familiar…

Celebrating the new hydrological year with a new HEPEX blog year: Let’s co-generate the HEPEX blog global pattern

October 1, 2020 Ilias Pechlivanidis Comments 0 Comment

Happy New Hydrological Year!! According to USGS and based on meteorological and geographical factors, the hydrological year is defined as the period between October 1st of one year and September 30th of the next year. Driven by this, HEPEX will set for this year a new interactive approach for scheduling the blogs with and for the community. The blog has been our channel to communicate scientific achievements, insights and developments. As a blogger, you do not need to be outstanding…
