Forecasting session at AOGS 2016 – Beijing, China

Contributed by David Robertson, CSIRO

This year, the Annual Meeting of the Asia Oceania Geosciences Society will be held in Beijing from 31 July to 5 August, and will include a session organised under the auspices of HEPEX.

The session has a broad scope and seeks to bring together researchers and practitioners undertaking hydrological forecasting related work in the Asia and Oceania regions. Presentations are invited on:

• Integration of weather and climate forecasts into streamflow forecasting;
• Methods for efficiently post-processing atmospheric predictions for hydrological applications;
• Evaluation of ensemble hydro-meteorological forecasts;
• Methods for estimating and reducing hydrologic predictive uncertainty including multi-model combination, data assimilation and post processing;
• Communicating predictive uncertainty and developing risk-based decision support systems for emergence management;
• Application of forecast information for water resources management including system simulation and optimisation.

Details of the session HS26 – Advances In Ensemble Hydro-meteorological Forecasting: Methods And Applications are available here, or contact David.Robertson@csiro.au for further information.

Abstracts are due by 19th February 2016.
