The STAHY Working group co-sponsored the session HS7.5/NP6.7 “Hydroclimatic stochastics” Convener: Demetris Koutsoyiannis, Co-Conveners: Alin Andrei Cârsteanu & Salvatore Grimaldi.
The session involved 6 oral contributions and 11 posters (listed at the end of the report) and was attended by more than 250 people.
All the authors delivered interesting presentations underlined by a rich discussion.
Particularly interesting it was the solicited lecture given by Prof. Robin T. Clarke from the Instituto de Pesquisas Hidráulicas, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. He underlined the importance of an appropriate application of statistical methods in hydro-climatological analysis. Particular emphasis was given to the role of spatial correlation in trend analysis of group of time series.
I would like to mention also the nice presentation (double in one) given by two students (Dimosthenis Tsaknias and Dimitris Bouziotas) about temperature and rainfall extremes.
