SUMMARY: Forecasting the Precipitable Water Vapour above the Canary Islands
  observatories
DESCRIPTION: Forecasting the Precipitable Water Vapour above the Canary Isl
 ands observatories\nMr. Gabriel Perez Jordan\n\nCan weather models be help
 ful for astronomers? In this talk, I do a  revision of the state-of-the-ar
 t in numerical weather prediction models  and its specific applications fo
 r astronomical observatories. In the  context of flexible scheduling, the 
 weather prediction models, and the  mesoscale models in particular, can gi
 ve a significant contribution in  the management of the observing nights b
 ased on the forecasted  atmospheric conditions. A prototype for the operat
 ional forecasting of  the Precipitable Water Vapour above ORM for observat
 ions in the  Infrared, currently under development, is presented and discu
 ssed.
