2. Sites = Target areas affected by same hydrometeorological events with good coverage by weather radars, in situ hydrometeorological stations (streamflows, meteorologicql stations, flux towers, soil moisture…) From an “hydrometeorological” point of view Round table PS1b EOP/SOP sites and supersites Ardèche Gardon Hérault Aude Orb Cèze Agly Têt Vidourle Pilot-site Site

3. « pilot-sites » = Research watersheds of some 1000-km² dedicated to distributed observation and modelling studies at the regional scale Valescure (5 km²) Gardon de Saint Jean (200 km²) Gardon (2000 km²) From an “hydrological” point of view Round table PS1b EOP/SOP sites and supersites Pilot-site Super-site

Examined to a significantly lesser degree is a less predictable counterpart in the southern Adriatic, where the Dinaric Alps are higher, broader, and steeper, and where the upwind Bora layer is generally less well defined.
