Session 2 Precipitation Processes and Observations for Atmospheric, Land Surface, and Hydrological Modeling Part II

Monday, 7 January 2013: 4:00 PM-5:30 PM
Ballroom E (Austin Convention Center)
Host: 27th Conference on Hydrology
Chair:
Thomas Adams, NOAA/NWS, Ohio River Forecast Center, Wilmington, OH

The session will focus on precipitation measurement/estimation with a eye on historical, high resolution, gridded, hourly, daily and subdaily precipitation (re-)analysis. Recently, significant research interest has focused on multi-sensor (gauge-radar-satellite-model) fusion procedures for hi-resolution regional precipitation We are hoping to continue discussions on: (1) the current status of precipitation data set development; (2) the current and future requirements for the data sets; (3) how to produce precipitation products that serve the research community while benefiting operations and service activities; (4) demonstrate successful uses of these products; and (5) describe multi-sensor data fusion processes. Contacts: Pingping Xie (pingping.xie@noaa.gov), Thomas Adams (thomas.adams@noaa.gov).
