12th International Precipitation Conference (IPC12)-Precipitation estimation and prediction at local, regional and global scales: Advances in hydroclimatology and impact studies

降水量很难在当地和全球范围内预测。科学家们已经确定了降水研究中的许多挑战。国际降水会议的成立是为了汇集来自各个领域的研究人员来讨论这些挑战。科学家和工程师在会议上讨论了研究界面临的挑战和机遇。研究人员在这次会议期间开展合作。会议支持早期职业科学家，并提供培训讲习班。降水仍然是在地方、区域和全球尺度上建模和预测的最具挑战性的变量之一，对我们量化水和能源循环动态、为决策提供信息以及预测洪水和干旱及其水文地貌灾害等极端情况的能力具有重大影响。 国际社会已经认识到降水研究面临的挑战，并成立了国际降水会议（始于1986年），将大气、气候、水文和应用水资源工程界聚集在一起，讨论挑战，并发展合作，推进建模和预测。在以往国际降水会议的基础上，本次会议将汇集一批国际科学家和工程师，整合研究工作，讨论社区面临的挑战和机遇，指导年轻科学家，并制定未来的发展方向。该会议在国际合作环境中参与并支持早期职业科学家和研究生，并为未来的研究合作提供机会。 该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Precipitation is difficult to predict both locally and globally. Scientists have identified many challenges in precipitation research. The International Precipitation Conference was established to bring together researchers from various fields to discuss these challenges. Scientists and engineers discuss challenges and opportunities facing the research community at the conference. The researchers develop collaborations during this conference. The conference supports early career scientists and provides training workshops. Precipitation remains one of the most challenging variables to model and predict at local, regional and global scales with significant implications for our ability to quantify water and energy cycle dynamics, inform decision making, and predict extremes such as floods and droughts and their hydro-geomorphic hazards. The international community has acknowledged the challenges in precipitation research and has established the International Precipitation Conference (starting in 1986) to bring together the atmospheric, climate, hydrologic and applied water resources engineering communities to discuss challenges and develop collaborations that advance modeling and prediction. Building on the previous International Precipitation Conferences, this conference will bring together an international group of scientists and engineers to integrate research efforts, discuss challenges and opportunities facing the community, mentor young scientists, and craft future directions. The conference engages and supports early career scientists and graduate students in an international collaborative environment and fosters opportunities for future research collaborations. The conference program includes several training workshops.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
