Terrestrial Hydrometeorology
Both hydrologists and meteorologists need to speak a common scientific language, and this has given rise to the new scientific discipline of hydrometeorology, which deals with the transfer of water and energy across the land/atmosphere interface. Terrestrial Hydrometeorology is the first graduate-level text with sufficient breadth and depth to be used in hydrology departments to teach relevant aspects of meteorology, and in meteorological departments to teach relevant aspects of hydrology, and to serve as an introductory text to teach the emerging discipline of hydrometeorology. The book will be essential reading for graduate students studying surface water hydrology, meteorology, and hydrometeorology. It can also be used in advanced undergraduate courses, and will be welcomed by academic and professional hydrologists and meteorologists worldwide.

Hydrometeorology
Hydrometeorology presents an introduction to relevant topics in the interdisciplinary fields of hydrology and meteorology. This book is one of the few books aiming to provide a balance between aspects of meteorological and hydrological processes. The transfer of energy and water between the land surface and lower atmosphere within the hydrological cycle is addressed followed by a description of the nature of precipitation, and how it is formed. Forecasting precipitation is reviewed on all scales, and the range of rainfall-runoff models and coastal surge models and forecasts (including tsunamis) which have been, and are being, used are discussed. The mechanisms of snow, ice (glacier, sea and ...
Introduction to Hydrometeorology
Introduction to Hydrometeorology is the study of the hydrolic cycle, which is the circulation of water from the seas, into the atmosphere, and back to either land or sea. This book describes hydrometeorology or the application of meteorology to problems that pertain to hydrology, and then discusses the approach, through meteorology, to the solution of hydrologic problems. This text outlines observation methods on the subject and discusses the applications of hydrometeorology to problems encountered in the study of river and lake behaviors. Topics include precipitation, melting of ice, streamflows, lakes, evaporation, and evapotranspiration. The frequently used methods in analysis, such as em...
Applied Hydrometeorology
Water is vital for life. Since the dawn of civilization, much effort has been made to harness sources of fresh water. Recent years have raised global awareness of the need for increasing demand of water worldwide, largely because of growing population, rising standard of living, higher demand for energy, and greater appreciation for environmental quality. As an example, the world population has increased threefold in the past five decades. In order to meet the rising water demand, water resources are being developed by building large dams, reservoirs, barrages and weirs across rivers worldwide. The guiding principle for water resources development has been to ensure adequate supply of water ...
Hydrometeorology
This book describes recent developments in hydrometeorological forecasting techniques for a range of timescales, from short term to seasonal and longer terms. It conveniently brings together both meteorological and hydrological aspects in a single volume.
Hydrometeorology: Advances in Weather and Climate Sciences
Hydrometeorology is an interdisciplinary branch of meteorology and hydrology. It studies the transfer of water and energy between the land surface and the lower atmosphere. An important aspect of hydrometeorology is the prediction and mitigation of the effects of high precipitation events. Nowcasting, numerical weather prediction and statistical techniques are the three primary ways to model meteorological phenomena in weather forecasting. Nowcasting predicts events a few hours out. It utilizes observations and live radar data to combine them with numerical weather prediction models. Numerical weather prediction is the primary technique used to forecast weather. It uses mathematical models t...

Hydrometeorology
Hydrometeorology is an interdisciplinary area of research that integrates knowledge from the atmospheric sciences and hydrology to learn the transfer and exchange of water and energy between land and the lower atmosphere. This area of research can be seen to exist at the interface of two well-developed disciplines, meteorology and hydrology. Usually, hydrometeorology offers ever-advancing information about the hydrological cycle, which is a fundamental part of the wellbeing of humankind on Earth. Water resources, mainly in arid and semi-arid regions of the world are of great concern, as they are intimately associated to the wellbeing of humankind. Complicated hydrological prediction tools ar...
Cold Climate Hydrometeorology
University researchers as well as operational scientists and engineers working in areas related to water resource development and atmospheric sciences will also find it very useful, particularly because the subject matter has been treated and illustrated in the Indian context.
