Apologies for any cross-postings
Dear HEPEX-ers
This is a friendly reminder that the abstract submission deadline for AOGS 2026 is this Friday, 23 January 2026.
On behalf of the co-conveners, we cordially invite you to submit an abstract for our session:
HS65: Advances in Ensemble Hydro-meteorological Forecasting: Methods and Applications
23rd Asia Oceania Geosciences Society (AOGS) Annual Meeting
Fukuoka, Japan | 2 to 7 August 2026
This session aims to explore methodologies and innovations for next-generation hydro-meteorological forecasting systems, and to address emerging challenges in applying these forecasts for real-world water resources planning and management. We welcome contributions from a broad range of topics related to hydro-meteorological forecasting and seeks to attract both researchers and practitioners working on various aspects of this field. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
• Real-time flood and high-flow forecasting techniques
• Challenges in sub-seasonal to seasonal hydro-meteorological forecasts
• Data-driven and machine learning techniques for hydro-metrological forecasting and uncertainty quantification
• Methods and evaluation of ensemble hydro-meteorological forecasts
• Pre-processing techniques for weather predictions for hydrological applications including spatio-temporal downscaling
• Improving forecast accuracy for the location, timing, and intensity of extreme rainfall events
• Application of remote sensing techniques for hydro-metrological forecasting
• Methods for estimating and reducing hydrologic predictive uncertainty including multi-model combination, data assimilation and post-processing
• Seamless integration of multi-scale forcing forecasts into streamflow forecasting systems
• Impacts-based forecasting and advanced warning methodologies
• Application of forecast information in water resources management including development and optimisation of simulation and modelling system
This session is endorsed by HEPEX, a platform for interaction and collaboration within the global hydrological ensemble prediction community.
