Hyper-resolution global hydrological modelling: What is next?

The goal of this workshop was to assess the need for developing hyper-resolution (0.1-1 km) global hydrology and land surface models and to make an inventory on what obstacles need to be overcome to make hyper-resolution models a reality. The primary output from this workshop was a position paper formulating a number of science questions that would benefit from hyper-resolution modelling and key challenges to overcome to make this possible (see Wood et al., 2011).
