Weather Radar and Hydrology - International Symposium
The theme of the 2011 Symposium will place emphasis on user applications of weather radar for flood forecasting and water management. All sessions will aim to combine developments in weather radar with advances in its hydrological application.
You are strongly encouraged to submit abstracts of papers for the Symposium with this focus in mind. We aim to promote a strong interchange between researchers, practitioners in the water industry and those making advances in weather radar technology.
Abstract submission deadline - 4 October 2010
Notification of acceptance of abstract - mid-November 2010
Symposium Proceedings, 6-page paper - 28 February 2011

This series of International Symposia began in 1989 at the University of Salford (UK) under the title “Hydrological Applications of Weather Radar”. Subsequent symposia have been convened in Germany, Brazil, USA, Japan, Australia and France. This 8th International Symposium marks a return to the UK after 20 years of successful symposia across the world.
Papers will be peer-reviewed and published as part of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS) “Red Book” Series of Proceedings and Reports.
A selection of papers, in extended form, will be published in a Special Issue of the “Hydrological Sciences Journal” of IAHS. Deadline for full papers for HSJ Special Issue (optional) is 31 March 2011.
Sponsors of the Symposium include the British Hydrological Society, the Royal Meteorological Society, IAHS and WMO.
Industry supporters in the UK are the Environment Agency, Met Office, Scottish Environment Protection Agency, Department of Agriculture and Rural Development for Northern Ireland and the Natural Environment Research Council.
National coordination of the Symposium is via the “Interagency Committee on the Hydrological Use of Weather Radar”.
