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 marked a return to the UK after 20 years of successful symposia across the world.
Peer-reviewed papers will be published in 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.
Sponsors of the Symposium included the British Hydrological Society, the Royal Meteorological Society, IAHS and WMO. Industry supporters in the UK were the Environment Agency, Met Office, Scottish Environment Protection Agency, Department of Agriculture and Rural Development for Northern Ireland and the Natural Environment Research Council. The Symposium was coordinated nationally through the “Interagency Committee on the Hydrological Use of Weather Radar”.
