This project focuses on integrating the Stony Brook University Mesoscale Ensemble System (MES) into National Weather Service (NWS) operations, specifically the Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System (AWIPS) and Site Specific Hydrologic Predictor (SSHP) tools. The objective is to enhance forecaster capabilities in performing mesoscale stochastic hydrology for small, fast-responding basins. Key data such as precipitation plumes, temperature, and wind members will be made accessible to enhance operational efficiency and improve predictive analysis for hydrology.

Integration of a Mesoscale Ensemble System into National Weather Service Hydro-Meteorological Operations Operational Aspects of the COMET Collaborative Project
Participants • Stony Brook University: • Brian Colle, Mike Erickson • NWS New York City: • Jeff Tongue, Nancy Furbush, Matt Sardi, Nelson Vaz, Adrienne Leptich • NWS Philadelphia/Mount Holly: • Al Cope • NWS Eastern Region Headquarters • Josh Watson • NWS MARFC: • Joe Ostrowski
Objective Integrate data from the Stony Brook University Mesoscale Ensemble System (MES) • Into AWIPS. • Into the Site Specific Hydrologic Predictor (SSHP) application.
Why ? • Allow forecasters to perform mesoscale stochastic hydrology on small, fast responding basins.
How?? • Provide WFO Forecasters with Mesoscale Ensemble Data to assimilate via AWIPS D2D (GFE) and the Web. • Provide WFO Forecasters with Mesoscale Ensemble Data to integrate into the Site Specific Hydrologic Predictor.
Data • Web • AWIPS • GFE
AWIPS • 00Z 12/36 km 14 Member Ensemble data • Available ~11 UTC • 36 Hour Forecast • Volume Browser: • Members • Means/Standard Deviation • Probability of Exceedence
AWIPS - Concerns • Installation Instructions are Available. • Still needs some “clean-up.” • New “build” issues. • Stony Brook is not an Operational Center.
SSHP Integrating Stony Brook ESP into SSHP Deterministically: From the AWIPS GFE Stochastically: From the Stony Brook EPS
Convert 6 hour NDFD QPF to RR2 text product for use with SSHP Note that GFE 6-hr Pcpn is evenly distributed
In SSHP Basins: • Lodi - Saddle R. • Gardiner – Wallkill R. • HoHoKus – Hohokus Brook • Springfield – Rahway R. • Beacon Falls – Naugatuck R. • Southbury – Pomperaug R. • Yantic – Yantic R.
2. EPS into SSHP (under development) • Experimenting with the Lodi Basin. • Stony Brook University is producing hourly resolution basin averaged precipitation. • RR2 Product (ftp’ed): • Mean • Worst Case scenario • Individual member data
Ensemble mean accumulated 1 hr forecast for hour 32 Ensemble mean for the Lodi Basin
GFE QPF SBU Ensemble Members Mean Average Worst case
Future Work • Automate the FTP of Data • Train Staff • Modify SSHP with help of OH to display ensemble hydrographs
