Proposed Agenda
• Hydro group projects• Lunch• ET related projects and discussion
3
Hydrologic Modeling Group
• Mike Smith• Victor Koren• Ziya Zhang• Zhengtao Cui• Naoki Mizukami• Brian Cosgrove• Eric Anderson (1/4)
4
Hydro Group ProjectsDeliverables to RFCs
• DMIP 2 (Oklahoma, Sierra Nevada)– Confidence in model; calibration schemes; procedure for gridded
hourly historical QPE; new ET for SAC-SMA• HMT West – evaluation of new data• SAC-HT with new ET
– New model and parameter grids• Parameterization
– Snow-17 (CONUS mfmax, mfmin grids)– SAC-SMA (CONUS, Alaska STATSGO, SSURGO with climate
adjustment and new ZPERC)• DHM-TF implementation: with CBRFC; Pittsburgh,
Binghamton; visualization tools; CONUS a priori routing parameters
• Migrate HL-RDHM into CHPS– Supported operational distributed model
5
Hydro Group ProjectsDeliverables to RFCs
• NASA Goddard: assimilation of MODIS snow covered area into Snow-17
• NASA Marshall: use of ASOS/MODIS cloud ‘mask’ data for daily PE computation– Daily PE approach using SYNTRAN
• NASA: SMAP• NCEP/EMC 30-year Reanalysis using
SAC-HT and Snow-17: CONUS water resources products such as soil moisture climatology
6
• U. Hawaii: Comparison of models for flash flood forecasting in tropics.
• U. New Mexico: Linkage of hydro and met models for improved forecasting
• UCLA: SNOTEL data characteristics to improve SNODAS (improved SWE)
• U. Washington: ‘Unified Model’

NCDCHourly Daily
NWSRFSPrecipitation Preprocessor (PXPP)-Data QC: double mass, suspect values-Generate monthly station means
NWSRFSMean Areal Precip. Processor (MAP)-Check data consistency-Estimate missing hourly, daily data-Disaggregate all station data to hourly values-Non disaggregated daily obs put into one hour-Print out hourly time series (new enhancement)
Multi-Sensor Precip. Estimator (MPE)-Uses PRISM values in interpolation-Generate gauge-only gridded QPE
-Manual QC: Fix ‘non-distributed’daily precipitation values-Script to uniformly distribute remainingDaily values
Hourly PointTime Series
-42 Total for North Fork test-Select Optimal
Procedure for OHD Gauge-Only Gridded QPE for DMIP-2(Developed by Hydro and Hydromet Groups)
SNOTELDaily
Use existing NWSRFS programs to generate hourly precipitation time series at each NCDC station; input these to MPE
10
Gridded Historical QPE
• Uses existing data QC methods• Uses existing RFC MAP input files
– No changes needed!• New MAP and scripts available from AWIPS
LAD
• Gridded historical temperature may follow same path
11
Precipitation Data QC for DMIP 2
• Missing flags• Wrong flags• Non-disaggregated daily totals• Values on incorrect days

Wrongly coded as -999In data file: should be -998

Step 1: ‘Basic’ DMIP 2 Data: Time series of gridded precipitation and temperature from NCDC, Snotel sites to Dec. 2002;
Step 2:Extend ‘Basic’ Data: gridded precip. and temp. from NCDC, Snotel sites

‘Advanced’ DMIP 2 Data: Multi-year time series of gridded data comprised of 1) ‘Basic’ data and 2) Processed and gridded HMT data for each IOP
Year
Note: the time scale describes the attributes of the time series, not the schedule for processing the HMT data. The HMT observationswill be processed after each campaign and inserted intothe Basic Data time series.
HMT QPE Data Processing for Use in DMIP 2
-Represent what the RFC uses for current Forecast operations. -Used for the initial lumped and distributed DMIP 2 simulations in the western basins.
