Hydrometeorology: Theory and Applications

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 als...
