Water cycling and the future availability of fresh water resources are immense societal concerns that impact all nations on Earth as it affects virtually every environmental issue. Precipitation is also a fundamental component of the weather/climate system for it regulates the global energy and radiation balance through coupling to clouds, water vapor, global winds and atmospheric transport. Accurate and comprehensive information on precipitation is essential for understanding the global water/energy cycle and for a wide range of research and applications with practical benefits to society. However, rainfall is difficult to measure because precipitation systems tend to be random in character and also evolve and dissipate very rapidly. It is not uncommon to see a wide range of rain amounts over a small area; and in any given area, the amount of rain can vary significantly over a short time span. These factors together make precipitation difficult to quantify, yet measurements at such local scales are needed for many hydrometeorological applications such as flood and landslide forecasting. Historical, multi-decadal measurements of precipitation from surface-based rain gauges are available over continents, but oceans remained largely unobserved prior to the beginning of the satellite era. Early visible and infrared satellites provided information on cloud tops and their horizontal extent; however, wide-band microwave frequencies proved extremely useful for probing into the precipitating liquid and ice layers of clouds.

New research opportunities to advance hydrologic sciences promise a better understanding of the role of water in the Earth system that could help improve human welfare and the health of the environment. Reaching this understanding will require both exploratory research to better understand how the natural environment functions, and problem-driven research, to meet needs such as flood protection, supply of drinking water, irrigation, and water pollution. Collaboration among hydrologists, engineers, and scientists in other disciplines will be central to meeting the interdisciplinary research challenges outline in this report. New technological capabilities in remote sensing, chemical analysis, computation, and hydrologic modeling will help scientists leverage new research opportunities.

Flash floods typically develop in a period a few hours or less and can arise from heavy rainfall and other causes, such as dam or flood defence breaches, and ice jam breaks. The rapid development, often associated with a high debris content, can present a considerable risk to people and property. This book describes recent developments in techniques for monitoring and forecasting the development of flash floods, and providing flood warnings. Topics which are discussed include rainfall and river monitoring, nowcasting, Numerical Weather Prediction, rainfall-runoff modelling, and approaches to the dissemination of flood warnings and provision of an emergency response. The book is potentially useful on civil engineering, water resources, meteorology and hydrology courses (and for post graduate studies) but is primarily intended as a review of the topic for a wider audience.

Tropical cyclones (TCs) can cause billions of dollars in property damage and up to thousands of life losses globally every year. In order to mitigate these socioeconomic impacts, scientists have strived in developing sophisticated numerical modeling systems to provide better tools for research and forecast communities, especially in those coastal countries and regions that are impacted substantially by TCs in the past several decades. Recently, several accelerated efforts were made by several research and operational centers after tremendous property and life losses by landfall TCs in the North Atlantic, the Western North Pacific, and the North Indian Ocean basins. The modeling systems in regional forecast centers are planning to upgrade to the next generation or make significant advances through those accelerations. In this Research Topic, the goal is to document the latest developments, physics improvements, data assimilation, holistic forecast systems, and their applications. Themes include the significant model new features, high-resolution physics for TC applications, data assimilation methodology and observational data impacts, forecast experiments, model verification and validation. Studies on the role of physical processes associated with the boundary layer, convection and microphysics, radiation, land surface processes, air-sea-wave processes are encouraged. The model evaluations including quantitative precipitation forecasts and tools, and products for TC research and forecasts are welcome as well. Novel studies and latest model developments having a research to operation (R2O) transition possibility will be considered for publication. The ultimate goal is to exchange research ideas, advances, and understanding across the global TC communities. We welcome Original Research and Review Articles from development, observational, numerical modeling, and forecasting perspectives on TCs. Articles can include, but are not limited to, the following topics: • Model development; • TC vortex initialization algorithm; • High-resolution physics for TC; • Air-sea-wave interactions; • Model tracking and intensity verification; • Data assimilation methods; • Observational data impacts; • Model evaluation tools; • Model evaluation comparison products for research and forecasts; and • Novel studies based on new findings and methodology.

This volume is a collection of a selected number of articles based on presentations at the 2005 L’Aquila (Italy) Summer School on the topic of “Hydrologic Modeling and Water Cycle: Coupling of the Atmosphere and Hydrological Models”. The p- mary focus of this volume is on hydrologic modeling and their data requirements, especially precipitation. As the eld of hydrologic modeling is experiencing rapid development and transition to application of distributed models, many challenges including overcoming the requirements of compatible observations of inputs and outputs must be addressed. A number of papers address the recent advances in the State-of-the-art distributed precipitation estimation from satellites. A number of articles address the issues related to the data merging and use of geo-statistical techniques for addressing data limitations at spatial resolutions to capture the h- erogeneity of physical processes. The participants at the School came from diverse backgrounds and the level of - terest and active involvement in the discussions clearly demonstrated the importance the scienti c community places on challenges related to the coupling of atmospheric and hydrologic models. Along with my colleagues Dr. Erika Coppola and Dr. Kuolin Hsu, co-directors of the School, we greatly appreciate the invited lectures and all the participants. The members of the local organizing committee, Drs Barbara Tomassetti; Marco Verdecchia and Guido Visconti were instrumental in the success of the school and their contributions, both scienti cally and organizationally are much appreciated.
