HYDROMET-BOX
HYDRO-MET Box is an easy-access platform for hydro-meteorological data in Lower Mekong Region
The application provides various hydro-climate and meteorological datasets including historical, near real-time data and rainfall forecasts. It also provides bias corrected precipitation, water elevation, groundwater, soil moisture, salinity, land subsidence, temperature, and urban heat data products from publicly available satellite measurements and models by creating a virtual network over the entire Lower Mekong Region.
Application Purpose
The application aims to improve flood risk assessment and provides communities, governments and humanitarian organizations with useful information for better flood preparedness and response.
Application Uses
Flood modeling, Flood Early Warning, Water Resource Management, Reservoir Management and Transboundary river basin management
