  1. Data and Information Needs for Decision Making NOAA/National Weather Service John Halquist

  2. River Forecasting along US/Mexico border

  3. Basin Partners • IBWC/CILA • International Boundary and Water Commission/ ComisionNacional de Limites y Aguas • Mirror agencies in US (HQ – El Paso) and Mexico (HQ – Ciudad Juarez) • Manage the 1944 treaty governing the Rio Grande • Operates two mainstem reservoirs (Amistad and Falcon) and mainstem stream gauges • CONAGUA • ComisionNacional Del Agua(National Water Commission of Mexico – HQ Mexico City) • Operates reservoirs and stream gauging on internal Mexican tributaries • SMN – ServicioNacional de Meteorologico (National Weather Service of Mexico) • Component of CONAGUA • Operates precipitation gauging throughout Mexico • Refurbishing old and deploying new radars in Mexico (potential for two radars in Rio Grande/Rio Bravo Basin)

  4. Bi-National Data Exchange Working Group • Partners • CONAGUA/SMN • IBWC/CILA • NWS • TCEQ – Texas Commission on Environmental Quality • USGS • Pursuing Need for Automated Real-time Data • Precipitation • River level and flow • Reservoir level and discharges • Two Meetings in 2011 • Developing “Community Data Warehouse” • Hosted by IBWC • Agencies post and retrieve data as needed • West Gulf RFC posting daily Rio Grande forecasts

  5. Radar Coverage in Basin Effective Total Coverage (Warm Season) Radar Beam Heights (Warm Season)

  6. Precipitation Gaging in Basin Automated precipitation data received via satellite Precipitation data for remainder of basin received hourly or daily via FTP retrieval from CONAGUA/SMN

  7. Stream Flow Data in Basin Manual stream flow data received semi-weekly or monthly via IBWC Automated stream flow data received via satellite: 8 locations on the Rio Conchos tributary of the Rio Grande

  8. CONAGUA/SMN Hourly Precipitation Data

  10. CONAGUA/SMN Daily Precipitation Data • CONAGUA - ftp to NWS Southern Region • Daily observed data • SHEF encoded • WGRFC - retrieves from Southern Region • Ingests into local database

  11. NWS Local Offices in Basin • West Gulf RFC provides all river forecasts on mainstem Rio Grande/Rio Bravo • 5 NWS Weather Forecast Offices with warning responsibility on the boundary portion of the Rio Grande/Rio Bravo • WFO Albuquerque oversees hydrology program of WFO El Paso • WFO San Angelo oversees hydrology program of WFO Midland • WFO San Antonio oversees hydrology program of WFOs Corpus Christi and Brownsville
