Hydrometeorology

Hydrometeorology studies the transfer of water and energy between the levels of the surface of the Earth along with the lower atmosphere. Such hydrothermal processes can lead to the occurrence of phenomena such as tropical cyclones, floods, desertification and drought. A major focus in hydrometeorology is determining the association between meteorological variables and precipitation. Such analyses serve as the foundation for the design of structures such as dams and reservoirs for flood con...
