EMS Annual Meeting, 2015

The European Meteorological Society (EMS) will come together this year for their Annual Meeting in Sofia, Bulgaria. The conference’s theme is High impact weather and hydrological hazards: from observation to impact mitigation. Kipp & Zonen welcomes you to visit our booth to see our solutions for meteorological observations of solar radiation and hydrology.

From September 7 to 11
Location: Sofia, Bulgaria

The considerable socio-economic costs of severe weather (such as intense precipitation, extreme temperatures and strong winds) and its impacts (including flooding, droughts, destruction of infrastructure, or forest fires) across Europe each year are increasingly apparent. The benefits of effective forecasting and warning are clear and quantifiable: lives are saved, communities are protected, and governments and businesses can take action to manage and mitigate risks.

The ECAM theme for 2015 explores the end-to-end process of modern weather and flood risk forecasting. Subject of discussion will be optimising use of observations and NWP, through to the changing way meteorological information is presented to, and used by, forecasters, decision-makers and other end-users. The emerging concept of 'Big Data' and its application to operational meteorology will also be examined.

Kipp & Zonen welcomes you to visit our stand in the congress area of the Hotel Marinela. We will have several of our instruments on display, such as net radiometerss and LAS MkII Large Aperture Scintillometer.
