WRaH 2020 Postponed Over Virus Outbreak
After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to postpone Weather Radar and Hydrology (WRaH 2020) to 11th- 14th April 2021, in response to recent coronavirus outbreak in China and ensure the welfare and safety of attendees to the conference.
We are grateful to have confirmed new dates in the same venue with the same layout so as not to compromise the quality and success of the conference. We appreciate the show of support that we have received from the organizing committees, scientific committees and our co-organizers during this time.
Currently, all submitted abstracts are under review and feedback will be sent to authors shortly. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any inquiries about the abstract and registration.
We apologize for any inconveniences that may have caused and We expect and appreciate your continued support for the future.

Welcome Message
With widespread flash flooding continuing around the world and with numerous active research projects on accurate weather prediction using radar and numerical weather prediction (NWP) models, lots of challenges are still remaining to realize the full potential of weather radar and knowledge gaps are needed to fill between academia and the practitioners. In addition, after decades of research and development, phased array radar (PAR) has matured and high-resolution polarimetric radar data are now available nationally and globally. There is high expectation that the rich information provided by PAR has great potential to improve the observation, quantification and forecasting of weather.
China is often seriously hit by various meteorological disasters, such as typhoons, heavy rainfall and snowfall, as well as secondary disasters including floods, flash floods, and landslides. The total economic loss is equivalent to 3%-5% of GDP and the total number of about 400 million people are affected. Therefore, it is of highly practical significance to provide accurate and timely weather forecasts and warnings, and to improve the capability of the whole society in preventing disastrous events, which requires collaborative learning across research institutes, industries and governments at national, regional and local scales, including China Meteorological Administration (CMA), Ministry of Water resources and Ministry of Emergency Management.
In this regards, it is a great honor to host and organize the International Conference on Weather Radar and Hydrology (WRaH) in Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology (NUIST), China, April 11-14, 2021. The conference intends to be used as a forum for participants to effectively share interesting research outcomes and practical experiences regarding weather radar and hydrology & water resources in the world.
We truly hope you agree that there is plenty of scope for this conference. This is indeed an important occasion for all of us involved in improving weather radar and hydrological issues, which needs cross-disciplinary effort to link up the meteorological and hydrological sectors, to meet and exchange their views on important technical issues, new and emerging methods and cutting-edge technologies.
We look forward to scaling up the weather radar& hydrology communities and enhancing the framework of international cooperation for future researches and projects among the global experts by encouraging bilateral collaboration between academics and government as well as wider industry across the world.
