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

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

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

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

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