hydrometeorology

Hydrometeorology is the scientific study of how atmospheric processes—like rain, snow, humidity, and temperature—interact with Earth's water systems. It focuses on understanding how weather impacts water movement in rivers, lakes, and groundwater, as well as phenomena like storms, droughts, and floods. By analyzing these interactions, hydrometeorologists help predict water-related events, manage water resources, and improve weather forecasting. Essentially, it bridges meteorology and hydrology to better understand and manage water in the context of weather and climate.
