The Water Cycle Branch within the ESRL Physical Sciences Division combines an extensive suite of sensors with expertise on basic physical processes affecting weather and climate, observing system capabilities and deployment, numerical modeling, and forecasting techniques. Flood control, water supply, river transportation, irrigation, hydropower, recreation and ecosystem management are critical applications in regional weather and climate monitoring and prediction. Hydrometeorological processes, those that lead to the development of precipitation and determine its distribution and fate on the ground, are key factors in addressing these issues. With the increasing demands on water resources, and uncertainties in future climate, the demand for individuals with the appropriate expertise is expected to grow significantly. Building linkages between NOAA ESRL researchers, our Hydrometeorology Testbed and CIRES colleagues would provide a productive and valuable research experience for interested graduate students. Students would be involved in research to better understand, describe and monitor hydrometeorological processes and transition the results of this research to operations. |
