متن کاملChallenges and Opportunities in Water Cycle Research: WCRP Contributions
The state of knowledge and outstanding challenges and opportunities in global water cycle observations, research and modeling are briefly reviewed to set the stage for the reasons behind the new thrusts promoted by the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) as Grand Challenges to be addressed on a 5to 10-year time frame. Those focused on water are led by the GEWEX (Global Energy and Water Exch...
متن کاملPreface: The LITFASS-2003 experiment
The success of weather forecasting and climate prediction essentially depends on our ability to understand and describe the energy and water cycles at various spatial and temporal scales. This has been recognised by theWMO in initiating theGlobal Energy andWater Cycle Project (GEWEX) as one of the major research activities within the framework of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP). GEW...

متن کاملProposed Satellite Mission May Answer Key Water Cycle and Water Management Questions
Predictions of runoff in many parts of the world cannot be properly compared with in situ measurements because these observations are very sparse and not always shared internationally. A proposed interferometric mission, WatER, may provide a solution to these problems. See article on page 6. Incoming solar radiation at TOA during the month of February (average of the years 1985 to 1988). Differ...
