Abstract

Meteorological observations play a key role in many flood, drought, environmental and water resources applications. Whilst rainfall observations are most widely used, other parameters of interest include air temperatures, humidity and wind speeds. The main measurement techniques include raingauges, weather stations and weather radar, with satellite precipitation estimates playing an important role in data-sparse regions. This chapter discusses these approaches and some of their strengths and limitations for hydrological applications. This includes a discussion of multisensor techniques which seek to combine the best features from several different observation systems.
