Advancements and Challenges in Montenegro's Hydrometeorological Services

The Hydrometeorological Institute (HMI) of Montenegro, established in 1951, plays a crucial role in monitoring and assessing atmospheric and hydrospheric conditions. Despite successes in project implementation and improved communication of extreme weather events, challenges persist, including the decline of meteorological stations and maintenance issues. The HMI aims to finalize its Master Plan for hydrological stations and enhance the measurement capabilities for water levels. Collaborations with various government sectors highlight the institute's importance in supporting national and environmental goals.

  1. DarkoNovaković & Ivana Pavićević WMO RA VI Hydrology Forum Koblenz, Germany, 8 - 10 May 2012. www.meteo.co.me; office@meteo.co.me; phone/fax: +382 20 655 183/197

  2. 1947 – Foundation of Hydrometeorological Institute in former Yugoslavia 1951 – first agrometeorological measurements 1975 – foundation of the Sector for water and air quality 1997 – starting the works on automatization of meteorological measurements 2001 – starting of operative work of numerical meteorological model 2005 – starting of automatization of hydrological measurements 2007 – Montenegro becomes WMO member History www.meteo.co.me; office@meteo.co.me

  3. Work of Hydrometeorological Institute is organized through: • HMI is a government body, under the competence of the • Ministry of Sustainable Environment and Tourism • HMI is funded by State budget (supervised by the • Ministry of Finance) • Law on hydrometeorological services • Law on hydrographic services (Off.Gazz. of Montenegro, No. 26/10, 07.05.2010.) www.meteo.co.me; office@meteo.co.me

  4. HMI is organized for following the state of the atmosphere and hydrosphere in global • Users of our products and data are numerous: • Ministry of Environment protection and Tourism • Ministry of Rural development and Water management • Ministry of Economy • Ministry of Interior affairs • Agency for Environment protection • Public Enterprises • Media • University / students • Insurance companies • Individuals etc. www.meteo.co.me; office@meteo.co.me

  5. Institute structure staff 14 www.meteo.co.me; office@meteo.co.me

  6. Waters from Montenegro territory flow into two basins:Adriatic sea (45.4%) and Black sea (54.6%) www.meteo.co.me; office@meteo.co.me

  7. Total number of present hydrological station is 35, from which 23 are automatized with on-line data on HMI web site, and we are planning to complete Master plan with 51 hydrological stations. www.meteo.co.me; office@meteo.co.me

  8. Biggest successes • Successful projects implementation (project with NVE, DRR project, DMCSEE, Nautical Tourism……) • Organization of the new Sector of hydrography and oceanography within the Institute (2008) • Approaching to EMI structures through DRR project • On time announcement to the public of extreme weather situations in 2009 and 2010 causing floods and in 2011 extreme snowfalls, which caused a collapse in almost whole country www.hmz.gov.me; office@meteo.co.me

  9. Floods 2009/2010 causing huge material losses www.meteo.co.me; office@meteo.co.me

  10. Snow in 2011 causing collapse in the country www.meteo.co.me; office@meteo.co.me

  11. Happy because of …….. • Good cooperation among different Sectors in the Institute • Very good and pleasant working atmosphere • Very good cooperation and exchange of experiences on international level www.meteo.co.me; office@meteo.co.me

  12. Biggest failures • Decrease of the number of meteorological stations ( till 2010 number of precipitation station was 60, today is just 30) • Inability of station maintenance • Inability of purchasing spare parts for stations • Lack of trained personal for hydrometric measurements and station maintenance • Inability of realization of Master plan of hydrological stations www.meteo.co.me; office@meteo.co.me

  13. Unhappy because of….. • Inability of realization of planned activities, due to lack of funds • Disproportion of current possibilities and huge number of users requests • Destruction of hydrological stations • Limited possibility of measurements of high waters on torrent water currents (as are almost all Montenegrin rivers) www.meteo.co.me; office@meteo.co.me

  14. Expectations…… • National level • Finalization of the Master plan of hydrological station network • Providing conditions for discharge measurements among whole amplitude of water levels • International level • Possible engagement of WMO experts in raising awareness on importance of hydro-meteorological data and information • Organization of (regional) trainings for meteorological and hydrological technicians www.hmz.gov.me; office@meteo.co.me

  15. Destroyed hydrological stations www.meteo.co.me; office@meteo.co.me

  16. www.hmz.gov.me; office@meteo.co.me

  17. New stations obtained through projects www.meteo.co.me; office@meteo.co.me
