Hydrometeorology is the study of the interactions between water and the atmosphere. It focuses on how precipitation, evaporation, and other water-related processes affect weather and climate. This field combines elements of both hydrology, which deals with water in the environment, and meteorology, the study of atmospheric conditions. Researchers in hydrometeorology analyze data to understand phenomena such as rainfall patterns, droughts, and floods. They use this information to improve weather forecasting and manage water resources effectively. By studying the relationship between water and weather, hydrometeorologists contribute to better preparedness for natural disasters and sustainable water management practices.
