  1. Strategic Plan for HEPEX John Schaake, Eric Wood and Roberto Buizza AMS Annual Meeting Atlanta February 2, 2006

  2. Hydrological Ensemble Prediction Experiment (HEPEX) HEPEX aims todemonstrate how to produce reliable hydrological ensemble forecasts that can be used with confidence to make decisionsfor emergency management, water resources management and the environment

  3. HEPEX Basic Building Blocks All 3 blocks are emerging Major work needed Must be done in an integrated way Weather/Climate Ensemble Prediction System Hydrologic Ensemble Prediction System User Applications

  4. Weather and Climate Forecasts Hydrologic Ensemble Prediction Hydrologic Ensemble Prediction System Observations Products, Services, Applications

  5. Elements of a Hydrologic Ensemble Prediction System Weather and Climate Forecasts Single-value and ensemble forecasts Atmospheric Ensemble Pre-Processor Reliable hydrologic inputs Land Data Assimilator Hydrologic Ensemble Processor Hydrologic Models Obs Ensemble forecasts Ensemble initial conditions Product Generator Reliable hydrologic products Products and Services

  6. Initial Workshop • ECMWF - March 8-10, 2004 • 80 Participants • 16 Countries • Users [NY Power, BC Hydro, Quebec Hydro, EDF (France), Mekorot (Israel), WMIG (Canada), CddHoward (Canada), SMHI (Sweden), BGF (Germany), …] • Meteorologists • Hydrologists

  7. Three Basic Elements of HEPEX • Testbed Projects • Supporting Data Sets • Components of the Community Hydrologic Prediction System (CHPS)

  8. Future Activities • HESS: HEPEX Special Issue • HEPEX Strategic Implementation Plan (Eric Wood) • BAMS Article (Tom Hammil) • Testbed Workshops / Deliverables • Data Set Access / Management (JCS) • Hydrovision “track” (Chuck Howard) • Workshop #3 – Ispra, Italy – Summer 2007
