Hydrometeorology: Theory and Applications

Beschreibung

The branch of meteorology and hydrology which deals with the study of transfer of water and energy between the land surface and the lower atmosphere is referred to as hydrometeorology. The primary goal of this discipline is to forecast and mitigate the effects of hydrometeorological disasters. Such hazards include drought, floods, desertification and tropical cyclones. Hydrometeorology uses statistical techniques, numerical weather prediction and nowcasting to predict such phenomena. It also includes identifying threats caused by such hazards, analyzing their magnitude and taking the necessary steps to mitigate such risks. This book traces the progress of this field and highlights some of its key concepts and applications. It unfolds the innovative aspects of hydrometeorology which will be crucial for the progress of this field in the future. Coherent flow of topics, student-friendly language and extensive use of examples make this book an invaluable source of knowledge.
