Long-term Hydrometeorological Observatories for Climate Variability and Impact Assessment

This project aims to establish long-term hydrometeorological observatories in target regions to study climate variability, water-related parameters, and the impact of human activities on hydroclimate variations. It includes the development of super-sites and pilot-sites dedicated to process studies and integrative studies at regional scales, as well as post-event surveys after major events in the Mediterranean. The project also emphasizes the cooperation of NWP centers, data assimilation, and the exchange of scientific information and data.

  1. Long-term Hydrometeorological Observatories • Target regions and sites • Clarify the concept of long-term HOs (meteorology, WG3 view; WG2?; GWEX) • Candidates for the GEWEX/CEOP • Within HOs, define pilot-sites and super-sites • Coordination of the HOs; leaders and/or contact persons • Contribution to the definition of TTOs, TTMs and TSs for continental surfaces monitoring
