        By The Gate Academy

      • The 100 Year Flood Is Not What You Think It Is (Maybe)

        This is a walk through the “one hundred year flood” concept, a combination of statistical hydrology and societal risk tolerance.
        By Practical Engineering

      • Science Behind Snow Melt

        The Weather Channel meteorologist Mark Elliot shows how some dust can increase the speed of snow melt.

      • The Spring Runoff: The Science of Predicting Snowmelt

        Recorded webinar (approximately 47 minutes long) addressing large-scale processes that govern snowmelt and the corresponding spring runoff. The topics of snow climatology, basic snowmelt phases, measurement techniques and modeling efforts are also discussed.
        Presented by John M. Goff, NWS/NOAA



      • Games


        Hydrology Quiz

        Questions in this quiz address basic concepts of hydrology. This resource is directed to professionals being trained to work in the field of meteorology and hydrology. Can be played online or printed to use in training events. Prepared by WMO-FFGS.

        Explaining Hydrology Terms

         

        Spin the wheel to be given a hydrology term to explain. Game suitable to professionals being trained to work in the field of meteorology and hydrology. Fun game to play online in group training events. Prepared by WMO-FFGS.

        Floods Happen. Lessen the Loss. A Coloring Book for Flood Education and Awareness

         

        This coloring book was developed as part of the project Floods Happen. Lessen the Loss. This project provides education messages and focuses on increasing of flood awareness. The book was created to increase the understanding of flooding and flood safety for school children, students, educators, and others. Prepared by Nurture Nature Foundation and NOAA/NWS.

        Understanding the Hydrologic Cycle: International Edition

        This module provides support for gaining basic understanding of the elements of the hydrologic cycle including water distribution, atmospheric water, surface water, groundwater, and snowpack/snowmelt.
        By COMET® Program

        Flood Forecasting Case Study: International Edition

        This module allows users to explore the flood forecasting process by assuming the role of a visiting hydrologist intern at the National Hydrologic Service.
        By COMET® Program

        Runoff Processes: International Edition

        This module offers an introduction to the runoff processes critical for flood and water supply prediction. The module explains key terminology and concepts including the following: types of runoff, paths through which water becomes runoff, basin and soil properties that influence runoff, and numerical runoff modeling.
        By COMET® Program

        Basic Hydrologic Sciences: International Edition

        This course provides support for gaining understanding of the complex interactions between the ground, waters and atmosphere, preparing learners for further study in hydrologic methods and forecasting.
        By COMET® Program

        Watersheds: Connecting Weather to the Environment

        This short course provides broadcast meteorologists with knowledge and instructional materials to help them understand watersheds as our environmental home and to help their viewers understand the relationship between the weather and the health and protection of the environment.
        By COMET® Program

        Streamflow Routing: International Edition

        This module provides a set of methods for describing and predicting the movement of water from one point to another along a river.
        By COMET® Program

        Flood Frequency Analysis

        This module offers an introduction to the use of flood frequency analysis for flood prediction and planning. The module explains the basic concepts, underlying issues, and methods for analyzing flood data.
        By COMET® Program

        Flood Frequency Analysis: International Edition

        This module offers a thorough introduction to appropriately constructing the necessary historical data series, calculating the flooding probabilities, and gauging the reliability of the resulting probability values. Methods for assessing flood frequency in basins with limited data are also discussed.
