Today, HSRI scientists are working on a number of international scientific and practical projects.

No. AL-5721122055 Scientific practical project on the topic “DEVELOPMENT OF SAND AND DUST STORM MONITORING SYSTEM TECHNOLOGY USING SURFACE AND SATELLITE DATA”

Executive organization: Scientific Research Institute of Hydrometeorology.

Funding source: Ministry of Innovative Development of the Republic of Uzbekistan (SATREPS-2020 “The Project for Development of Innovative Climate Resilient Technologies for Monitoring and Controlling of Water Use Efficiency and Impact of Salinization on Crop Productivity and Livelihood in the Aral Sea region” – “Aral region within the framework of the project to develop new technologies for monitoring and controlling the effective use of water resources to combat salinity and increase land use productivity).

Project execution period: May 2022 – April 2025.

The purpose of the project is to develop the technology of the sand and dust storm monitoring system using atmospheric models, reanalysis data, surface and satellite data.

Expected scientific results:

• Scientifically based indicators are developed in order to determine the conditions of formation of sand and dust storms, taking into account climatic, meteorological, synoptic processes and soil properties;

• The possibility of using MSG geostationary satellite data will be assessed and the technology for using them for monitoring sand and dust storms will be developed;

• Methodological foundations and technology of sand and dust storm monitoring system will be created;

• recommendations on optimization of the atmospheric dust monitoring system using automatic equipment will be developed;

• approaches to creating a sand and dust storm warning system using ground and satellite data and reanalysis data will be developed.

No. IL-5721122065 Scientific practical project on the topic “DEVELOPMENT OF TECHNOLOGY FOR ASSESSMENT OF THE IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON WATER RESOURCES IN UZBEKISTAN TO INCREASE ADAPTABILITY IN WATER AND AGRICULTURE”

Executive organization: Scientific Research Institute of Hydrometeorology. Partner organizations: Kyoto University, Chibo University

Project completion date: May 2022, April 2025.

The purpose of the project: To develop the adaptation capacity in the water and agricultural sectors and to develop the national measurement, reporting and verification system of measures and actions on adaptation to climate change, the technology of assessing the impact of climate change on water resources in Uzbekistan development.

Expected scientific results:

• on the basis of mathematical modeling methods and satellite snow-ice monitoring technologies, methods for climate change assessment of the Amudarya and Syrdarya river basins will be developed in accordance with climate change scenarios (CMIP6) (with Kyoto and Chibo universities in cooperation);

• recommendations on the use of EC-Eddy-covariance flux systems (in cooperation with Chibo University) will be developed;

• The results of the verification of the “SiBUC” (Kyoto University) model in the quasi-real regime for the monitoring of land resources for the conditions of Uzbekistan are obtained (in cooperation with Kyoto University);

• approaches, methods and indicators will be developed for the development of the national measurement, reporting and verification system of measures and actions on adaptation to climate change in the water and agricultural sectors;

• recommendations for optimizing the network of hydrological observation monitoring for effective management of water resource use will be developed.
