  • The prize winner for the best article in Nordic Hydrology furing the last two years was Jan Seibert for "Reliability of model predictions outside calibration conditions", Vol. 34, No. 5, 477-492, 2003. The prize value is 10 000 SEK.

  • The prize winners for best poster presentation at NHC2004 were Eli Alfnes, Hans-Christian Udnaes and Liss M. Andreassen for "Satellite-observed snow covered area and spring flow prediction in the HBV-model". The prize value is 5 000 SEK.

The general assembly was held in Estonia on August 11 in connection to the conference. Among the discussed issues were:

  • The arrangement of seminars and workshops in between the bi-annual conferences. The aim of NHF is to define topics of special interest to the members and initiate such events. Estimated costs is therefore included in the budget. All members were invited to submit proposals of topics and possible organizing institutions to the chair person of NHF, Dan Lundquist.

  • A possible co-operation on Nordic Hydrology with the British Hydrological Society. There were not any formal protests against further negotiations on such an arrangement, but some members expressed a possible threat of loosing the Nordic focus of the journal (both in content and in the name of the journal). The board will take these opinions into consideration during any negotiations that might take place.
