WG Hydrology and End Users

Co-chairs: Roberto Ranzi and Christoph Hegg

Description of WG Hydrology and End Users (WG-HEU)

WG-HEU deals with the production of added value products of hydrological relevance, as the runoff volumes and peaks in selected hydrological basins using the meteorological output data produced in MAP D-PHASE. Hydrologists and representatives of Civil Protection Services, Water Authorities responsible for water management, etc. are welcome to contribute to the activities of this WG.

The main tasks of WG-HEU are:
  • definition of common needs of hydrological modellers / end users with respect to atmospheric model output (e.g., parameters, thresholds, etc);
  • definition of the hydrological basins and the control sections where average precipitation, runoff volumes and peaks will be computed for verification;
  • definition of parameter list necessary both to drive the hydrologic models and to conduct verification;
  • definition (with WG-DI) of common format of atmospheric model output to drive the hydrologic models;
  • definition (with WG-DI) of common format of hydrologic model output to be used for verification (WG-VER);
  • establish a network of 'hydrologist / end user pairs', building on already existing relationships and new contacts.

  • Questionnaires
