hydrometeorologische
Hydrometeorologie, commonly encountered as hydrometeorology in English, is the branch of meteorology that studies the distribution and behavior of water in the atmosphere and its interaction with the Earth's surface. It covers the life cycle of atmospheric moisture—from cloud formation and precipitation to evaporation and humidity—and how these processes feed the hydrological cycle at local, regional, and global scales. The field also includes the study of fog and cloud physics within weather systems. In German and Dutch contexts the term hydrometeorologische is used as an attributive adjective to describe related observations, forecasts, and services.
It investigates how atmospheric processes influence surface water and groundwater systems and how land and water
Methods rely on observations from weather stations, rain gauges, radar and satellite remote sensing, and river
Applications include flood and drought forecasting, water resources management, agricultural planning, hydroelectric operations, and urban drainage
