NSF Research Experience for Graduates and Post-Doctoral Scholars: Support to attend and participate in Weather Radar and Hydrology (WRaH) Conference in 2014

这个项目是创建一个专业研讨会，题为天气雷达和水文（WRaH）。 本次研讨会将讨论基于雷达的降水估计的快速进展，有助于提高对最先进的降水处理工具和产品的理解。雷达降水产品的几个问题，其中包括：1）雷达降水处理算法的改进，从而改进降水产品; 2）雷达降水的偏差校正方法; 3）将降水产品纳入分布式水文模拟工作的新兴工具，4）可用于实时应用的降水产品，5）利用历史雷达降雨量数据制定基于水文学的水文设计标准的新方法; 6）从各国和国际上利用雷达数据进行各种应用的经验中吸取的教训。 雷达降雨技术的经济驱动力对美国乃至世界经济都很重要。这次研讨会活动将导致改进水文设计标准，从雷达降雨量数据，并创造经济发展的机会，许多机构。

This project is to create a specialty symposium titled Weather Radar and Hydrology (WRaH). This symposium will discuss the rapid advances in radar-based estimation of precipitation contributing to the improvement of understanding the state-of-the-art precipitation processing tools and products. It is expected to shed light on several issues of radar-based precipitation products which include: 1) Enhancements in radar-based precipitation processing algorithms resulting in improved precipitation products; 2) Bias correction methods for radar-based precipitation; 3) emerging tools to incorporate precipitation products in distributed hydrologic modeling efforts, 4) precipitation products that can be made available for real-time applications, 5) new approaches to rainfall-based hydrologic design standards utilizing historical radar rainfall data and 6) lessons learned from national and international experiences of use of radar data for variety of applications. The economic drivers of radar-rainfall technology are important to the US and, eventually, the world economy. This symposium activity will lead to improved hydrologic design standards derived from radar rainfall data and create economic development opportunities for many agencies.
