COMET Advanced Hydrologic Sciences Course 06-1 Home Page

Welcome to the COMET Advanced Hydrologic Sciences Course Home Page! This two-week science course is designed for hydrologic forecasters at the RFCs, especially the DOHs, and for some senior Service Hydrologists at the WFOs. A background in basic hydrologic science as well as experience in hydrology is required . Course objectives are to advance the skills and knowledge of the forecaster through training and demonstration of current and near future advances in hydrology including data, modeling, verification, and interagency collaboration. Topics include hydrometeorological data input, hydrologic and hydraulic models including HEC RAS, effects of river ice, tidal processes, urbanization and structural failures, the future of FFG, ensemble streamflow prediction and interpretation, reservoir operations, streamflow regulation, water quality, security issues, extreme events, drought, snowmelt, and water supply. Topics will be taught at the graduate level by experts from various agencies and universities. Exercises will provide hands-on experience of the lecture material and foster interactions among the participants.
