HyMeX-TTM3 MedCORDEX workshop, 28-30 March 2012, Toulouse, France
Posted 22.02.2012
The Regional Climate Modelling task in HyMeX, TTM3, and the MedCORDEX initiative try to define a common framework for high-resolution and multi-component Regional Climate Models dedicated to the study of the Mediterranean. The workshop to be held from 28 to 30 March in Météo-France, Toulouse, will aim to: i) review the TTM3 and MedCORDEX modelling platforms and runs, ii) design the multi-model intercomparison, iii) discuss the modelling exercise for the HyMeX observing period, iv) discuss the first results from the model runs, v) organise multi-model evaluation, and vi) enhance model improvement within TTM3. All the modelling, analysing and evaluating teams involved in HyMeX and MedCORDEX are welcome.
Contacts: Miguel Gaertner (UCLM, Spain), Gianmaria Sannino (ENEA, Italy) and Samuel Somot (CNRM, France)

Post-flood survey in the Magra River, Italy, 13-17 February 2012
Posted 22.02.2012
A post-flood survey was held in the watershed of the Magra River (North-West Italy) which was hit by a flash-flood on 25 October 2011. Field observations have been carried out by CNR IRPI and Dept. TESAF of the University of Padova. Researchers of other Italian Universities have also participated focusing on topics such as flood routing in the main channel, channel bed morphology, and transport of wood by the flood. The survey has made it possible to estimate peak discharges at around 20 cross-sections. Interviews to witnesses provide interesting confirmations about the flashy behaviour of the flood.

HyMeX aims at a better understanding, quantification and modelling of the hydrological cycle in the Mediterranean, with emphasis on the predictability and evolution of extreme weather events, inter-annual to decadal variability of the Mediterranean coupled system, and associated trends in the context of global change.The multidisciplinary research and database developed within HyMeX aim to improve observational and modelling systems, better predict extreme events, simulate the long-term water-cycle, and provide guidelines for adaptation measures.
