Summary of H SAF-HEPEX workshop

January 29, 2020 Fredrik Wetterhall Comments 0 Comment

by Fredrik Wetterhall, David Fairbairn and Patricia de Rosnay, ECMWF. More than a hundred modellers and satellite data specialists in the field of hydrology came together at ECMWF from 25 to 28 November to debate new ideas and deepen collaborations. The workshop on “satellite-inspired hydrology in an uncertain future” was organized jointly by the EUMETSAT Satellite Application Facility for hydrology and water management (H SAF) and the HEPEX community. The last joint H SAF/HEPEX workshop was held in 2014, so…

In just a couple of weeks it is time for the joint H SAF and HEPEX workshop on using remote sensing for hydrological applications, this time enticingly named “Satellite inspired hydrology in an uncertain future”. The workshop is a follow-on from the workshop five years ago on “Coupled hydrology“, so it is time to see how far the community has got in terms of using satellite data in hydrological applications and what the challenges are for the future. We welcome…

When: 25-28 November 2019 Where: ECMWF , Reading, UK Five years ago, H SAF and HEPEX organised a joint workshop on “Coupled hydrology” at ECMWF, and now it is time to revisit the subject. Last time around the workshop was split into first an H SAF part, followed by a joint session and finished with a HEPEX workshop. This time the idea is to have joint sessions all through the workshop to further the collaboration between the two communities and…

What are the challenges for HEPEX over the next decade?

March 21, 2018 Fredrik Wetterhall Comments 1 comment

The question sounds grand and may be a bit difficult to give a simple answer to, but that was the question put forward to the participants at the HEPEX workshop in Melbourne in February. HEPEX was founded as an initiative in 2004 with the goal of bringing the hydrological and meteorological communities to “demonstrate how to produce reliable …hydrological ensemble forecasts that can be used to assist the water resources sector to make decisions that have important consequences for the…
