HMT-SE Major Themes from Day 1 Identified during group breakouts on February 3, 2009
HMT-SE Major ThemesIdentified on February 3, 2009 Major themes: Cross-cutting/broad issues: Observing network Including tide gages Coastal emphasis Hydrology issues • Quantitative Precipitation Estimates (QPE) • Quantitative Precipitation Forecasts (QPF) • Hydrologic Applications • Decision Support Tools (DSTs) • Verification • Societal Impacts
Major Themes, cont’d • QPE • Gage, radar, multi-sensor • Algorithms • QPF • More broadly, modeling • Probablistic • Assimilation • Hydro Apps • Very broad, encompasses much • Flash flood and river modeling • River-coastal interaction • DSTs • “Information Technology” • Display • Dissemination • Verification • Societal Impacts
HMT-SE Major ThemesIdentified on February 3, 2009 Major themes HMT Major Activity Areas: Cross-cutting/broad issues: Observing network Especially water level gages Coastal zone issues Hydrology issues Information Systems (IT infrastructure) Also Discussed: Snow & Ice Information Debris Flows (“mud slides”) Debris in rivers • Quantitative Precipitation Estimates (QPE) • Quantitative Precipitation Forecasts (QPF) • Hydrologic/Hydrodynamic Applications • Decision Support Tools (DSTs) • Verification • Societal Impacts
Proposal for Today’s Breakouts… Break into Four Groups: Each group should also consider: Verification Coastal zone issues Observing network Including water level gages Snow & Ice Information Debris flows (slope flows & in river) Sky to Summit to Sea Information Systems (IT infrastructure) • Quantitative Precipitation Estimates (QPE) • Quantitative Precipitation Forecasts (QPF) • Hydrologic/Hydrodynamic Applications • Decision Support Systems (DSSs) & Societal Impacts
