Accra, the capital city of Ghana, is located in subtropical West Africa. This rapidly growing capital city is surrounded by hills to the north and the Atlantic ocean to the south, bringing in moist air with the trade winds. During the rainy season (April – June and September – October), these conditions often result in…
The National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) has launched the Conventional Observation Reanalysis (CORe), a new operational dataset designed to support monitoring of the Earth system. CORe was developed through collaboration among the Climate Prediction Center (CPC), the Environmental Modeling Center, and the Physical Sciences Laboratory, with support from the Weather Program Office’s Subseasonal-to-Seasonal Program.…
NOAA has reached an important milestone in the development of the Seasonal Forecast System (SFS) Project with the March 2026 launch of the SFS Beta v1.0 Prototype and its new near-real-time (NRT) capability. Developed by the Environmental Modeling Center (EMC) and work from the Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research Physical Sciences Lab and Global…
Registration is now open and abstracts are being accepted for the 2026 Subseasonal to Seasonal (S2S) Land–Atmosphere Interactions Workshop, co-hosted by NOAA and NSF NCAR. The workshop will take place August 4–6, 2026, in Boulder, Colorado and will focus on advancing understanding of land–atmosphere processes and their role in S2S predictability. Researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders…
Please save the date for the upcoming workshop, Advancing Understanding of Land–Atmosphere Interactions and Processes for S2S Predictability, to be held August 4–6, 2026 at the NSF National Center for Atmospheric Research (NSF NCAR) in Boulder, Colorado. This workshop builds on momentum from the 2025 meeting and will focus on improving understanding of land–atmosphere interactions…
I am a Civil Engineer with a Master’s in Hydroinformatics from IHE-Delft. From 2011 to 2019, I worked with El Salvador’s Hydrometeorological Service, where I helped produce hydrological forecasts and impact-based warnings to the National Directorate of Civil Protection. In 2019, I moved to Uruguay to lead the Hydrological Forecast team at the National Directorate…
Nice to meet you! I am Ruben Imhoff, a hydrometeorologist working at the Operational Water Management and Early Warning Systems Department of the Deltares Research Institute in the Netherlands. I started studying at Wageningen University in the Netherlands. There, I did a bachelor’s and master’s in the field of Earth system sciences, with a focus…
Guest Blog by Rachel Hogan Within InPRHA, our research is focused on the integration of precipitation, hydrology and social science for improving early flood warnings for all. Our work considers the integration of these elements across the entire flood (and multi-hazard) early warning value chain, especially in the context of a changing world. Isolating any…
I’m a scientist at the NSF National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colorado, USA. As a kid, I was always fascinated by the weather, especially thunderstorms during the humid Virginia summers, and this led me to pursue an Environmental Science BS in college, a MS in Atmospheric Science at the University of Albany,…
I’m a scientist at Earth Sciences New Zealand (formerly NIWA) and a Principal Investigator at Te Pūnaha Matatini, a Centre of Research Excellence in Complex Systems at the University of Auckland in Aotearoa New Zealand. My background is a little unconventional: I trained as a mathematical engineer in France, then completed a PhD in mathematics…
