Global and regional quantitative precipitation estimations (QPEs) are very important for understanding climate variability and hydrometeorological cycles, improving flash flood and weather forecast, effectively managing the usage of earth's freshwater resources, detecting the natural disasters, and other hydrometeorological applications. However, obtaining accurate QPEs is a big challenge in many areas of the world, due to sparse gauge networks and complex terrains. Recent advances in radar and satellite remote sensing of precipitation progress rapidly with the aims of providing accurate and high-resolution precipitation estimates, accurate flash flood forecasting, understanding of causation and geophysical process of these natural hazards. This session invites high quality, original research contributions from radar and satellite meteorology, flash flood forecasting, hazards monitoring, and related fields that research hydrometeorological hazards.
