Advances in Estimating Evaporation, Evaporative Demand, and Associated Applications Posters
Location: Exhibit Hall 3 (Austin Convention Center)
Advances in the estimation of evapotranspiration (ET) and atmospheric evaporative demand (Eo) are made across a broad range of scales and techniques, from in-situ observations to remote sensing and modeling. Specific topics for this session might include:
• estimating ET from various perspectives: remote sensing platforms, ground-based point observations and parameterizations, plant-based experimentation, and water budgets; operational ET estimation; land surface-atmosphere feedbacks; future remote sensing missions and needs for ET; Eo as an input to operational LSMs to derive ET, schedule crop irrigation, and as a metric of hydroclimatic trends and variability.

Benchmarking, identification, and verification in land surface modeling and data assimilation Posters
Location: Exhibit Hall 3 (Austin Convention Center)
We invite contributions describing the advances in model benchmarking, evaluation and verification for land surface model and data assimilation simulations and systems including: (1) Challenges and issues of land surface model benchmarking, availability and accuracy of observational datasets, (2) The use of novel, standardized model benchmarking, identification and verification metrics and tools, (3) The use of techniques and metrics beyond the traditional deterministic approaches (such as ensemble diagnostics, probabilistic verification measures), (4) The use of model identification measures to differentiate the performance of different models, (4) multi-model and ensemble diagnostics to characterize predictive uncertainties. In particular, we seek contributions that lead towards the definition and refinement of standardized measures of model performance for the land surface community.

Water Resources Applications of Hydrometeorological Analyses and Predictions Posters
Location: Exhibit Hall 3 (Austin Convention Center)
We seek contributions from the research, operational and stakeholder or user communities on recent advances in science and practice of weather and climate analysis and prediction, hydrologic forecasting, and uncertainty-based approaches to support applications in water and watershed management. Water management concerns may include single or multi-sectoral efforts toward improving decisions regarding energy, flood or drought mitigation, agriculture, navigation and recreation, transboundary efforts or initiatives, and other resources management challenges. We welcome papers focusing on work across the spectrum of time (hourly to seasonal and interannual) and space scales (local to global), and presentations that highlight new theory, methods or findings from case studies.

Flood Prediction, Analysis, Decision Support and Management Posters
Location: Exhibit Hall 3 (Austin Convention Center)
his session will be oriented toward prediction and decision support, highlighting cutting-edge efforts to advance short to medium range prediction systems in support of flood prevention operations and management. A broader slate of flood related topics are also of interest, including the characterization of observed flood events, estimation of flood risk, hydrologic and geomorphologic changes associated with floods, flood analysis and simulation, and flood related physical processes and phenomenon such as rain on snow, snowmelt, atmospheric rivers and tropical connections. The session also invites contributions related to the management of floods, such as emergency response activities, including case study assessments of recent, high-impact events..

Global Flood Forecasting and Mapping Posters
Location: Exhibit Hall 3 (Austin Convention Center)
Satellite measurements combined with continued improvement in the resolution of operational global models have enabled the development of supranational, global and regional-scale flood monitoring and forecasting systems. This session invites presentations that discuss the development, implementation and application of such large-scale systems and related monitoring, nowcasting, flash-flood scale forecasting, high-resolution mapping and impact assessment studies. Interdisciplinary projects that prepare for an improved humanitarian response to flood events are of particular interest. Contact(s): Bart Nijssen Nijssen@uw.edu, Ayse Sezin Tokar stokar@usaid.gov
