Hydrometeorology is a branch of meteorology and hydrology that studies the transfer of water and energy between the land surface and the lower atmosphere. UNESCO has several programmes and activities in place that deal with the study of natural hazards of hydrometeorological origin and the mitigation of their effects. Among these hazards are the results of natural processes or phenomena of atmospheric, hydrological or oceanographic nature such as floods, tropical cyclones, drought and desertification. Many countries have established an operational hydrometeorological capability to assist with forecasting, warning and informing the public of these developing hazards. ==Operational Hydrometeorology in Practice== Countries with a current operational hydrometeorology service include, among others: * Australia * Canada * England and Wales (Flood Forecasting Centre) * France〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Information nationale )〕 * India〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hydro-Meteorology )〕 * Scotland〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Flood Forecasting Service )〕 * Serbia * Russia * The United States of America 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hydrometeorology」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
