| Abstract from DBPedia | Hydrometeorology is a branch of meteorology and hydrology that studies the transfer of water and energy between the land surface and the lower atmosphere. Hydrologists often use data provided by meteorologists. As an example, a meteorologist might forecast 2–3 inches (51–76 mm) of rain in a specific area, and a hydrologist might then forecast what the specific impact of that rain would be on the local terrain. UNESCO has several programs and activities in place that deal with the study of natural hazards of hydrometeorological origin and the mitigation of their effects. Among these hazards are the results of natural processes and atmospheric, hydrological, or oceanographic phenomena such as floods, tropical cyclones, drought, and desertification. Many countries have established an operational hydrometeorological capability to assist with forecasting, warning, and informing the public of these developing hazards.水文気象学（すいもんきしょうがく、Hydrometeorology）は、蒸発、大気循環による水蒸気の移動、降雨などを通して大気を移動する水を研究する、気象学の応用分野であり、水文学の一分野でもある。陸域の水循環を扱う水文学と大気現象を扱う気象学の融合分野。水理気象学（すいりきしょうがく）とも。 (Source: http://dbpedia.org/resource/Hydrometeorology) |
