An Integrated Look at the Hydrology Program
Donna Page
25 Feb. 2009
HIC/ARC Meeting
22
Transformation Requirements: Three Major Areas
NWS is committed to lead efforts to:
• Deploy the Community Hydrologic Prediction System via AWIPS II
• Produce a seamless suite of probabilistic water forecasts from minutes to years for decision support services
• Establish a Federal Consortium to leverage capabilities and deliver well coordinated water resources information and forecasts
3
Outline
• Budget – PPBES
• Services Development
• RFC Implementation
• Vision for Customer Services
Looked at the Program from different views
4
General Disclaimer
• First step in a process– Need your input to refine
• Timelines are high-level and preliminary– Especially in out years– More detail added in nearer years
• Better budget information• Better idea of schedules for nearer years

Hydrology Program Integrated Water Forecasting Program
6
Proposed Elements of NOAA’s Integrated Water Forecasting Program (IWFP)
• River, Stream, and Local Area Forecasts (present WW-HYD)– Flash Floods– Streamflow – Water Resources
• Great Lakes (OAR)– Water Levels– Hazardous Spill Response
• Major Bays and Ports (NOS)– Water Levels– Currents
• Numerical Weather Prediction (NWS, OAR)– Precipitation Observations and Forecasts– Land Surface Conditions
• Research and Development (OAR, NWS, NOS, NESDIS)– Observations and Models (including Hydrometeorological Testbed)– Coupled Modeling Systems
7
FY09 Core Goal R&D Funding PrioritiesHighest, High, Med, Low, Program Areas
1. Improve the quality of physical inputs and forcings (e.g. QPE, QPF, temperature, evapotranspiration, soil conditions, burn data, etc.)
2. Improve river forecasts by improving hydrologic models (Note: river forecasts include water supply forecasts)
3. Improve forecasts of fast response hydrologic events including debris flow4. Improve river forecast and warning services based on the effect of dam failures5. Improve hydrologic forecasts impacted by reservoirs and regulation6. Improve model connections / routing between model simulations (includes coastal effects)7. Improve flood forecast inundation maps (Static, Dynamic)8. Quantify the uncertainty of our forecast information9. Generate and disseminate information to and for our users10. Provide, then improve, gridded water resource data production capability 11. Provide, then improve, water quality forecasting capability12. Disseminate hydrometeorolgical data to the field (e.g. HADS)13. Software refresh – enhance the usability and/or internal workings of existing software14. Allow the hydrology community to more fully participate in research to operations (e.g. CHPS)15. Archive information required to support the Hydrology Program now and in the future16. Verify our forecast and uncertainty information17. Inform customers of our information and services, assess their satisfaction, and incorporate comments
and feedback into Hydrology Program planning18. Provide science and software training on Hydrology Program applications throughout the research to
operations cycle.19. Improve the efficiency and effectiveness of Hydrology Program management, including an
understanding of logistical measures20. Update and maintain the nation’s precipitation frequency estimates21. Define and coordinate Hydrology Program requirements with other NOAA programs and federal water
partners

Funding & Core Goals
• AHPS– Uncertainty information (Ensembles)– Flash flood – Forcings– Flood inundation mapping (static)– Innovation (regulated rivers)– Verification– Web Services– New Service Locations
9
Funding & Core Goals
• Water Resources (current)– Software Refresh (CHPS)– Forcings (Data assimilation)– Distributed modeling– Verification– Web Services
• Water Resources (CERIS NC start – FY10)– Hydraulics (River, Estuary, Ocean models)– Inundation Mapping – dynamic– Water quality (temperature)
10
Funding & Core Goals
• Integrated Water Forecasting Program (FY12)– Forcings – Data assimilation (HPC, NSSL, NESDIS)– Hydraulics (NOS, OAR)– Software refresh (CHPS)– Distributed modeling– Coordinate with NOAA programs and federal water partners
• Integrated Water Resources Science and Services – Coordinate with NOAA programs and federal water partners– Software refresh (interagency integration)– Innovation (new services)

We Need Your Help
• Schedules will be posted on the walls this week
• What are we missing?
• Is the relative order right?
• Add your comments to the schedules
• Are there other ways to look at it?
