Special Hydrology Session at the AGU Fall Meeting 2012 (H049): Using Remote Sensing and Global Weather Datasets for Hydrologic Modeling in Data-Scarce Regions: Opportunities and Challenges

Participate and submit an abstract to this special session at the American Geophysical Union 2012 Fall Meeting.  AGU Fall meeting (3-7 December 2012) will be held in San Francisco, USA.

H049: Using Remote Sensing and Global Weather Datasets for Hydrologic Modeling in Data-Scarce Regions: Opportunities and Challenges

Co-conveners: Gabriel Senay, Mekonnen Gebremicheal, and Naga Manohar Velpuri

Description: Hydrologic modeling in data-scarce regions is challenging because in situ data required to parameterize, calibrate, validate and operate hydrologic models are not available. Remote sensing and global weather datasets that offer consistent and spatially distributed data have brought a new dimension to hydrologic modeling in data scarce regions. However, there is a clear need to understand and articulate the opportunities and challenges of using such datasets. In this session, we encourage submissions that address this need. This session also responds to one of the IAHS's Predictions in Ungauged Basins Initiative goals.

Index Terms: [1846] HYDROLOGY / Model calibration; [1847] HYDROLOGY / Modeling; [1855] HYDROLOGY / Remote sensing and [1874] HYDROLOGY / Ungaged basins

The deadline for all submissions is August 8, 23:59 EDT. You can submit your abstract online at http://agu-fm12.abstractcentral.com
