This simulator case provides users with the opportunity to work closely with colleagues in order to learn how to properly prepare and disseminate timely high impact weather warnings.
In the future weather forecasters will deal more intensely with high impact weather. Therefore, It is important to raise awareness that forecast information needs to be issued on time and disseminated through proper channels. There is usually a small time window in which to react. So, there is a need for better interdisciplinary communication and team work between a hydrologist and a forecaster. With such cooperation bad weather impact prediction will be improved and more effective.
Some basic information on the hydrological model has been provided on the simulator, so it can be used with, or without, the support of a hydrologist.
You can access the simulator on EUMeTrain’s website.
