Hanoi (VNA) – Vietnamese scientist NguyenHoang Minh has won the UN World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) ResearchAward for Young Scientists in 2021.

Dr. Minh, 34, from the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, receivesthe noble award for his research entitled “An approachfor improving the capability of a coupled meteorological and hydrological modelfor rainfall and flood forecasts”.

This study proposes a method for improvingthe capability of rainfall and flood forecasts by generating ensembleprecipitation predictions (EPPs) associated with radar-based rainfall predictionby considering spatial rainfall errors.

The EPPs are generated as a kind ofMonte-Carlo simulation based on the performance of the numerical weatherprediction (NWP) model in the previous time step window. The generated EPPscontinue to be blended with radar-based rainfall predictions to produce hybridrainfall forecasts that perform better than each system could performindividually.

Minh’s research has been highly evaluated by worldleading experts in the field. Its results have been applied in Vietnam.

WMO Awards recognise outstanding contributions inthe field of meteorology, breakthroughs in scientific research, youngscientists for their exceptional contributions to meteorology and climatology,and young engineers/scientists working on development hydrometeorology.

WMO Research Award for Young Scientists aims to encourage youngscientists, particularly in developing countries, to undertake outstandingresearch work in all fields of meteorology and hydrology. The award hasbeen granted to young scientists from more than 20 different countries./.
