1. What’s New in CHPS-4.0.1 (non FEWS related changes) 11/14/2013

2. CHPS-4.0.1 • CHPS-4.0.1 is coming • OHD and RFC beta testing is complete • Special Thanks to MARFC, MBRFC, LMRFC, WGRFC, SERFC, and CNRFC • “Final” package with HSD for final phase of testing (installation) • CHPS-4.0.1 Package should be made available by HSD very soon • Details in Release Notes • For normal CHPS operations, CHPS software is STABLE • Especially For non-FEWS Components • Very FEWS FogBugz since last release of CHPS • Beta testing had very few issues • Changes, if any, are in add-on functionality

3. What’s New in CHPS-4.0.1 • OHD-CORE-CHPS (3.2.a) • FogBugzcases • Initial Release of Calibration Features • Graphics Generator Updates • Documentation on the web http://www.nws.noaa.gov/oh/hrl/general/indexdoc.htm • HEC-RAS (HEC-RAS-4.1.0_1.0.6) • FogBugz fix • HEC-RESSIM (HEC-ResSim v3.1RC4) • No Changes • CN and MB using, anyone else?

4. OHD-CORE-CHPS: FogBugz Cases • FogBugz 984: TATUM incorrect if LAYER COEFFICIENTS of form #.00 • FogBugz 1045: GraphGen does not add a .xml extension • FogBugz1144: Make Lower Zone Deficit Ratio (LZDEFR) variable available as an output SAC-SMA timeseries

5. OHD-CORE-CHPS: Calibration • Initial Goal is to reproduce mcp3 and icp capabilities • Not addressing Calibration preprocessors (MAP, MAT, TAPLOT, PXPP, IDMA) or postprocessor (OPT3) • Includes feedback from calibration team (ABRFC, APRFC, CBRFC, CNRFC, NWRFC) • CHPS Calibration • Uses a mix of “OHD-CORE-CHPS” and “FEWS” features • CHPS calibrations are done in a Stand Alone (SA) and configurationsshould NOT be uploaded to the live system (OC) (except for calibrated module parameters file) • More Details at upcoming webinar (early December)

6. OHD-CORE-CHPS: Calibration(Affected Calibration Files)

7. OHD-CORE-CHPS: Calibration(Workflows) • Uses existing operational workflows (i.e. Preprocessing_Updatestates and the UpdateStates General Adapter modules) • Add new calibration modules to workflows for WATERBAL, STATQME, Report STATQME, and PEAKFLOW

8. OHD-CORE-CHPS: Calibration(STAT-QME) • Used the FEWS Open API/custom transformation concept to code several calibration Stat-QME calculations which are not easily configurable - Add OHD transformation configuration files . ModuleConfigFiles/calibration/xxxxx/STATQME_WGCM8_Calibration_StatEquations.xml . CoefficientSetFiles/Area_Coefficients.xml

9. OHD-CORE-CHPS: Calibration(HTML Report) • The ICP statistical summary, a text based report in tabular format used to review all statistical information in a single window, is reproduced in CHPS as a FEWS report generated using an HTML template; this is referred to as the HTML report - The Configuration directory holds the files that are required for creating the HTML reports

10. OHD-CORE-CHPS: Calibration(Percolation Analysis) • The CHPS Percolation Analysis Function is limited compared to the original ICP • The lower zone deficiency ratio (LZDEFR) time series is needed by the Percolation Analysis for Calibration. • The LZDEFR variable will be an additional output time series for the SAC-SMA model in CHPS • The last time interval value of each day is selected to create a time series of daily LZDEFR value to use in the Percolation Analysis

11. OHD-CORE-CHPS: Calibration(Percolation Analysis)

12. OHD-CORE-CHPS: Calibration(Documentation Changes) • Calibration Configuration Guide http://www.nws.noaa.gov/oh/hrl/general/chps/Calibration/Calibration_Configuration_Guide.pdf • Step by Step procedures for adding CHPS Calibration configurations to a FEWS SA • Calibration Reference Manual http://www.nws.noaa.gov/oh/hrl/general/chps/Calibration/Calibration_Reference_Manual.pdf • Overview of CHPS Calibration Features

13. OHD-CORE-CHPS: Graphics Generator(Software Changes) • Products and settings are now stored on the file system • Previously stored in the localDataStore • Dependency on CHPS/FEWS led to bugs • FogBugz 1110: Product XML was being truncated when saved as a data set via the FEWS PI-service • FogBugz 1048: Uploaded products and settings were not getting synched to the back-end PI-service • Move to file system removes this dependency

17. OHD-CORE-CHPS: Graphics Generator(Documentation Changes) • Instructions and trouble-shooting for thresholds is provided in the Graphics Generator Reference Manual and Graphics Generator AHPS Product Installation Guide • General instructions related to thresholds are provided in Section 12.2.8 of the Graphics Generator Reference Manual http://www.nws.noaa.gov/oh/hrl/general/chps/Utilities/Graphics_Generator_Reference_Manual.pdf • Instructions related to the AHPS product are in Section 2.1.3 and 6.2 of the Graphics Generator AHPS product Installation Guide http://www.nws.noaa.gov/oh/hrl/general/chps/Utilities/Graphics_Generator_AHPS_Products_Installation_Guide.pdf • Though explained in context of the AHPS products, these are generally applicable in cases where the ThresholdValueSets.xml configuration file specifies thresholds to display • Additions to the Graphics Generator Tips and Troubleshooting Guide http://www.nws.noaa.gov/oh/hrl/general/chps/Utilities/Graphics_Generator_Tips_and_Troubleshooting.pdf • Instructions related to using module instance sets and locations sets in the PI-service configuration files are provided in Section 2.1 • General tips to make configuring the FEWS PI-service and Graphics Generator easier are provided in Section 2.8 • Instructions for generating HS ensembles and displaying them in Graphics Generator are provided in Section 2.9

18. HEC-RAS: FogBugz Fix • Fogbugzcase 623 – Not able to complete 60 yr ESP HS run using HEC-RAS (NCRFC) • RMA (HEC-RAS contractor) made some general performance improvements that now allow for 40 year runs on a 64 bit machine (e.g. CHPS3-nhdr)

19. What’s Next for CHPS (non FEWS related changes) 11/14/2013

20. What’s Next • OHD-CORE-CHPS • Graphics Generator Enhancements (Feedback is helpful!) • Calibration: Nothing Definite, possibilities include (Future Release) • Optimization (OPT3) • Peakflow Module Updates

21. What’s Next (continued) • Outstanding FogBugz enhancements (possible, needs to be prioritized – Future Release) • 1148: output ET demand and actual ET from SAC-SMA • 443: SSARRESV limitations • HEC-RESSIM (Nothing planned) • HEC-RAS (Nothing Immediate) • The only plans for RAS are that when RAS V4.2 gets officially released by HEC (we don't know when), we will have to see (via HSD and Regions) whether it is high enough priority to update the RAS adapter for that new version.  That's not automatic - it depends on priority against other CHPS enhancement requests

22. What’s Next • Other Efforts • HLRDHM through FEWS (prototype project) • In response to FogBugz 1010 (OHRFC) - Updated HLRDHM FEWS Adapter to be compatible with latest version of CHPS • Detailed Configuration Guide • Will be made available as a separate package in early December • To be used on dev/test or SA • Support and maintenance is currently outside of CHPS (Zhengtao Cui) • Something to be considered for future versions of baseline CHPS • Training • Calibration in CHPS Training (Early December): GO-TO led by Deltares • 1.5 – 3 hour webinar (Demos and Presentations) • Use FogBugz to enter “requests” (fixe, clarification, enhancement) • Possibly followed up several weeks later with a technical conference call • Graphics Generator (by June 2014) • Identified as a “High” Priority • Teresa Murphy at NWSTC working with OHD and RFC representatives on training modules

23. What’s Next? • CHPS into AWIPS • Next release of CHPS is via AWIPS as part of RP refresh • Spring through Summer 2014 • Next CHPS package includes • FEWS (same as 4.0.1) • HEC-RAS (same as 4.0.1) • HEC-RESSIM (same as 4.0.1) • OHD-CORE-CHPS (updates to 4.0.1) • Graphgen Updates • nc2griib fix (> 10 days of data) • Initial release of HEFS (“placeholder”): Details to be provided by Mark Fresch at a later date • Timing of future CHPS upgrades as part of AWIPS releases - TBD
