  1. HMT-04 Allen White NOAA/ETL Boulder, CO A HydroMeteorolgical Testbed for the Russian River Watershed

  2. HMT-04 is a demonstration project focused on improvements in quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE) and quantitative precipitation forecasting (QPF) in mountainous areas and is designed to help improve hydrologic forecasts and warnings. HMT will assess existing NOAA observational, modeling, and human infrastructure, identify critical gaps in NOAA’s current observing and modeling capabilities, and recommend how to fill those gaps based on proof-of-concept results.

  3. HMT-04 will use a variety of ground-based remote sensing radars and in situ sensors, the data from which will be archived for future research and made available in near real time (~Dec 10 – Mar 31) on the internet for direct forecaster use and NWP evaluations.
