Mesoscale Weather Forecasting Research

wwrp logo

To promote, organize and/or endorse end-to-end weather research and development projects (RDPs) that advance understanding of weather processes, improve forecasting techniques and increase the utility of forecast information with an emphasis on high-impact weather.

News

 

The HyMeX (HYdrological cycle in the Mediterranean EXperiment) Project becomes a WWRP project: HyMEX received an endorsement at the last meeting of the WWRP Joint Science Committee. HyMex aims at a better understanding and quantification of the hydrological cycle and related processes in the Mediterranean, with emphasis on high-impact weather events, inter-annual to decadal variability of the Mediterranean coupled system, and associated trends in the context of global change. The hydrological cycle in the Mediterranean is a key environmental and socio-economic question for a wide region encompassing southern Europe, northern Africa and the Middle East. Further information on HyMEX can be found at http://www.hymex.org/ with the 4th HyMex Workshop to be held during the 8-12 June 2010.
