Advances in Remote Sensing and Modeling of Terrestrial Hydrometeorological Processes and Extremes
Description
Remote sensing is an indispensable tool for monitoring and detecting the evolution of the Earth’s hydrometeorological processes. Fast-growing remote sensing observations and technologies have been a primary impetus to advancing our knowledge of hydrometeorological processes and their extremes over the last decades. Meanwhile, integrating the hydrological-meteorological-ecological processes and bridging traditional disciplines are emerging as the frontier of hydrology and meteorological studies. These progresses opened new opportunities to advance the studies of modeling and forecasting climate change-related extremes for adaptation and mitigation of hydrometeorological hazards.
We solicit high quality, original research as well as review articles on the advances in theories and applications of remote sensing technologies for observational, theoretical, and numerical modeling studies of terrestrial hydrometeorological processes and extremes.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Remote sensing of land surface hydrometeorological processes
- New methods of quantifying hydrological processes
- Remote sensing and modeling of hydrometeorological hazards and extremes
- Assimilation of remote sensing data in hydrological and land surface models
- Coupled hydrological-meteorological-ecological processes
- Hydrologic responses and hazards under extreme meteorological conditions
- Development and improvement of hydrological and land surface models
- Application of remote sensing in water resources assessment
