Modern condition of hydrometeorological monitoring in Georgia.
2017
The current state of meteorological, climatological and hydrological monitoring in Georgia is considered. A powerful technological development of an innovative nature made it possible to conduct automatized, almost continuous hydrometeorological observations and their successful introduction in the country. The descriptions of automatic meteorological, hydrological, agrometeorological and road stations and posts with the indication of monitoring capabilities are given. Along with terrestrial hydrometeorological systems, innovative remote monitoring systems are considered; together with the state of the hydrometeorological network, the state of modern, innovative data processing systems are given; the data presentation formats, procedures for data quality control and data quality assessment are considered; modern numerical models for weather forecasting are presented; an increased accuracy of weather forecasts in comparison with the Soviet period is mentioned; thus, for example, the efficiency of short-term forecasts is about 91%; modern European models for hydrological forecasting characterized by a large spatial resolution are discussed, together with the further development prospects of hydrometeorological monitoring.
