  2. Physical Elements Included in NWS Water Science Objectives Forcings Precipitation Air Temperature Humidity Winds Radiative Anthropogenic QPF QPE Solar Longwave Aerosols Irrigation Liquid, solid, Extreme Events, Space-Time Variability Infiltration Soil Hydraulics Soil Heterogeneity Soil Characteristics Storage Snow Lakes Marshes & Wetlands Reservoirs Soil Moisture & Temperature Channel Storage Ground-water Geologic Transport Canopy Interception Location Size Management/ Operations SWE, Depth Cover Extent Snowmelt Location Size Water Quality Withdrawal Recharge Quality Karst Topography Volcanic Regions Fault Zones Channel geometry Channel loss Moisture Profile Temperature Profile Frozen Soil Evaporation Soil Evaporation Water Surfaces Snow Sublimation Evapotranspiration Flow Water Quality Runoff River Flow Coastal Zones Debris & Snow Flows Ungauged Basins Freshwater Inflow to Estuaries Tidal Influences River Ice Diversions & Return Flows Extreme Events Channel Geometry Sediment Transport Temperature Pollutants Salinization Surface Flow Subsurface Flow Surface Properties Varying capability in NWS Land Use/Cover Soil Characteristics Albedo Topography Vegetation Type, Density Seasonal Phenomenology Forest Burn Areas Stream Networks Basin Boundaries Radiative Transfer Modeling Limited Capability in NWS

  3. Vision for Ensemble & DA Improved accuracy, Reliable uncertainty estimates, Benefit-cost effectiveness maximized

  4. NOAA/NWS Hydrology ProgramBeforeand Since the Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service (AHPS) Before Ensemble Streamflow Prediction (ESP) at the forefront, boundary conditions driven by weather, climate and initial conditions. Since Limited primarily to flood forecasting, boundary conditions driven largely by major weather events

  5. Ensemble Water Supply Forecasting

  6. Ensemble Streamflow Forecasting

  7. Strategy for short-term ensemble streamflow prediction From Seo et al. (2006): available athttp://www.copernicus.org/EGU/hess/hessd/3/1987/hessd-3-1987.htm

  8. Reliable and skillful ENSEMBLES (streamflow and forcings) and associated meta data for 1 hour to 2 years User selectable attributes: period duration time aggregation probability levels thresholds probability type analogs based on meta data User selectable context mean, median, max, min analogs based on meta data specific years specific forecast w/outcome Archive of hindcasts, forecasts, simulations, observations, and meta data x XEFS Products & Services Specific data, forecasts, ensembles, and analysis for use in value added processes (e.g. flood inundation mapping) GRAPHICS BINARY 010101010101010101010101010101 TEXT XML Verification information in user friendly form Instructional (annotated examples)

  9. Ensemble forecasting and data assimilation address reduction and accurate accounting of major uncertainties Reduction and accurate accounting of hydrologic uncertainty is critical to reliable and skillful hydrologic ensemble/probabilistic products
