We are glad to announce the session on hydrometeorology at the EMS Annual Meeting to be held in in San Lorenzo de El Escorial, Spain, 1-5 October 2007. A particular focus of the session is to provide an interdisciplinary forum for the discussion of the present state of knowledge on dealing of uncertainty in meteo-hydrological forecast chain, considering their meteorological, hydrological and hydraulic aspects and their effects on warning forecast system.
The session is related to and will promote the scope of the COST CONCERTED RESEARCH ACTION 731 -- Propagation of uncertainty in advanced meteo-hydrological forecast systems.
Contributions to this session can be made on topics such as:
· observations (e.g. precipitation measurements) and quality characterization
· coupling of meteorological products and runoff simulations
· assimilation of observations into NWP and hydrological models
· probabilistic atmospheric forecasting in a NWP system (ensembles, downscaling, other)
· hydrological modelling with atmospheric observations and forecasts, including their associated uncertainties
· flood response decision making (especially protection vs. evacuation), management decisions during the event and public warnings
