Hydrological Forecasting at EGU 2020: (5+1) things not to miss

Hydrological Forecasting at EGU 2020: (5+1) things not to miss

Comments 1 comment

The EGU 2020 Annual General Assembly will take place from 4–8 May 2020; however this time we will not be able to physically meet in Vienna and the event will instead take place remotely. Nevertheless there are ways to get updated on the recent scientific insights and developments and also to virtually socialize with friends and colleagues. To make EGU 2020 and the hydrological forecasting subdivision a big success this year too, here are 5+1 HEPEX activities we initiated that…

HEPEX Webinar: Statistical post-processing of ensemble weather forecasts: current development and future directions

HEPEX Webinar: Statistical post-processing of ensemble weather forecasts: current development and future directions

Comments 1 comment

This webinar is co-hosted together with ECMWF and will be longer than usual, approximately 1 hour. Otherwise the procedure is as usual. Speaker: Tilmann Gneiting, University of Heidelberg Date and time: Wednesday, February 11, 2015 15:30 (UTC) Link to the recording here  Abstract: Statistical post-processing techniques serve to improve the quality of numerical weather forecasts, as they seek to generate calibrated and sharp predictive distributions of future weather quantities and events. I will review the state of the art in post-processing, with focus on ensemble forecasts and ongoing…

HEPEX Webinar: Discharge uncertainty: sources and implications for hydrological analyses

Comments 1 comment

The Webinars are back for a new year of broadcasted science. A slight change in the format is that we will keep them shorter, around 20 min presentation with 10 min for discussion. First out 2015 is Ida Westerberg. University of Bristol. Date and time: Thursday, January 29, 2015 3:00 pm GMT  (UTC) A recording of the webinar is now available here Abstract: Uncertainty in discharge data affects the reliability of a range of hydrological analyses and is therefore important for the…

The Webinars are back after a small break over the summer. First out for the season is one of the founding fathers of HEPEX, Roberto Buizza. Speaker: Roberto Buizza, ECMWF Date and time: Tuesday, September 30, 2014 3:00 pm GMT Summer Time  (UTC+01:00) Register: https://ecmwf.webex.com/ecmwf/onstage/g.php?t=a&d=954436834 Preview of the seminar:17th_HEPEX_Webinar_Buizza Abstract: In 2004, ECMWF hosted the first workshop that discussed the proposal for an International Hydrological Ensemble Prediction Experiment (HEPEX). This is how HEPEX started, with one of its main objectives being…

16th HEPEX Webinar: Using satellite snow cover images to enhance performance of snow, glacier and rain runoff projections for hydro power usages

16th HEPEX Webinar: Using satellite snow cover images to enhance performance of snow, glacier and rain runoff projections for hydro power usages

Speaker: David Finger Date and time: Thursday, May 29, 2014, 15:00 GMT Summer Time (UTC +01:00) Register: https://ecmwf.webex.com/ecmwf/onstage/g.php?t=a&d=958073775 Abstract: The quantification of snow, glacier and rainwater contribution to runoff in mountain streams is of major importance in order to anticipate adequate water management of hydropower reservoirs. While seasonal glacier melt contribution depends on general meteorological conditions during the summer months, snow cover is governed by winter precipitation and spring temperatures and direct runoff depends on rainfall patterns (e.g Crochet 2013)….
