H-SAF Project Plan 2.0, October 2007 - Update PP-2.2, 10 April 2008 - Chapter 2 (From the Development Proposal) Page 22 The Istituto di Scienze dell’Atmosfera e del Clima (ISAC) of the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR) is responsible of the development backing precipitation product generation and quality control criteria under Cluster-1. It is supported by the Dipartimento di Fisica dell’Università di Ferrara for precipitation cal/val activities. The Italian activity in H-SAF covers: • the Coordination task and the associated centralised functions/facilities • coordination of Cluster-2 (precipitation); • development of algorithms and software for precipitation products; • generation of precipitation products; • precipitation products calibration and contribution to validation; • education and training on the use of satellite-derived precipitation products in Hydrology; • participation to the Hydrological validation programme. Poland The Institute of Meteorology and Water Management (IMWM) is responsible for the coordination of the Hydrological validation programme (Cluster-4). IMWM has been performing meteorological and hydrological services as well as research and development activities in this field continuously for 85 years. The hydrological and meteorological services are provided at the same institution in close cooperation. They use the same data, including satellite information. The IMWM tasks in this field are: • research and development in the fields of atmospheric physics and chemistry; climatology; agrometeorology; hydrology; oceanology; water chemistry and biology; water hydrodynamics; water resources management; water engineering and safety of water technical structures; economy, planning and forecasting in water management and engineering; analysis of processes and factors influencing water resources quality and sewage treatment; • performing the systematic meteorological and hydrological observations and measurements; • collection, archiving and processing of observations and measurements; • preparation and distribution of forecasts and warnings for protection of citizens, national economy and state safety. The Polish activity in H-SAF covers: • coordination of Cluster-4 (Hydrological validation programme); • contribution to validation of precipitation products; • contribution to validation of snow products; • participation to the Hydrological validation programme. Romania The National Meteorological Administration (NMA), formerly National Institute for Meteorology and Hydrology (NIMH) will cooperate with the Cluster-3 leader, Finland for developmental activities in the field of snow products generation. Romania has a long-standing experience in snow remote sensing applications, software and algorithm development and validation and measurement campaigns. NMA will test and validate snow products on Romania’s mountain and flat land areas, perform validation campaigns for the development of algorithms and develop algorithms and software for the prototyping of snow products. The Rumanian activity in H-SAF covers: • contribution to development of snow products (in the Visiting Scientist framework). Slovakia The Slovenský Hydrometeorologický Ústav (SHMÚ) (Slovakia Hydro-Meteorological Institute) has broad experience in hydrological modelling. The operational hydrological and meteorological services are at the same institution, closely cooperating. The operationally used models are ready for assimilation
H-SAF Project Plan 2.0, October 2007 - Update PP-2.2, 10 April 2008 - Chapter 2 (From the Development Proposal) Page 23 of data from different sources: conventional, radar, satellite. Methods used currently in operational hydrology of SHMÚ are: • antecedent precipitation index, empirical-regression model; • hydrodynamic model MIKE-11 being used in pre-operational testing mode; • HVB model and rainfall-runoff model of non-linear reservoir cascade being used for simulation. The Slovak rainfall-runoff model of the river Hron is currently in developing stage. Increasing of performance and precision of the model is expected by using satellite products of rainfall and snow as inputs. The MIKE-11 and HVB models are already adaptable for inputs of products like radar and satellite rainfall intensities and cumulative precipitation. An SHMÚ rainfall-runoff model is also being developed. The Slovakian activity in H-SAF covers: • contribution to validation of precipitation products; • participation to the Hydrological validation programme. Turkey The Turkish State Meteorological Service (TSMS) is in charge of overall coordination and management of H-SAF activities. It provides the basic infrastructure for the technical activities, including satellite data acquisition and meteorological data, both for running the task of generating snow products (Cluster-3) in mountainous regions, and in support of the other undertakings of Turkey in H- SAF. The TSMS provides coverage of the 50 % cost to balance the 50 % EUMETSAT contribution. The Middle East Technical University (METU) is responsible for the developmental activities related to generating snow products in mountainous regions METU is also responsible of the Turkey participation to the Hydrological validation programme (Cluster-4), in cooperation with ITU and the Anadolu University. The Istanbul Technical University (ITU) is responsible for the contribution to the activity on precipitation (Cluster-1), and will take part in the Hydrological validation programme in cooperation with METU. The Anadolu University (AU) will perform impact studies in a number of test sites in the framework of the Hydrological validation programme, in cooperation with METU. The Scientific and Technological Council of Turkey - Information Technologies and Electronics Research Institute (TUBITAK-BILTEN) is a government institute that conducts contract researches with various organizations from business and the public sectors. They have experience on both passive and active microwave systems, electromagnetic boundary value problems, solving inverse problems related with the electromagnetic theory. The State Hydraulic Works (SHW) is the primary executive state agency of Turkey for overall water resources planning, operation, and management. Its main responsibilities include irrigation, hydroelectric power generation; domestic and industrial water supplies for large cities; recreation and research on water-related planning, design and construction materials. The SHW is also responsible for hydrometeorological measurements including snow course measurements and collects discharge data in large basins in Turkey. SHW also runs hydrological models for flood forecasting uses. SHW will provide users requirements in order to use the snow products in the hydrological models. The Turkish activity in H-SAF covers: • development of algorithms and software for snow products in mountainous areas; • generation of snow products in mountainous areas; • snow products calibration and contribution to validation; • contribution to validation of precipitation products; • participation to the Hydrological validation programme.
