  1. CHPS Status and Plans Jon Roe, Chris Dietz, Joe Gofus OHD/HL/HSEB Semi-Annual RFC HIC Meeting 29 July 2008

  2. Topics • Terminology • Approach & strategy • Status/Recent activities • Schedule • Hardware • Useful resources • HIC to do list CHPS Status and Plans

  3. Terminology • Preferred Usage • “FEWS for CHPS” • “CHPS and FEWS” • “CHPS or FEWS” • Avoid Ambiguous Usage • “CHPS/FEWS” • “CHPS-FEWS” FEWS features have potential application to the entire FEWS user community (generic time-series storage, displays, workflows, etc.) Community Hydrologic Prediction System (CHPS) Other FEWS-based systems; e.g. UK Environment Agency National Flood Forecasting System (NFFS) Applications, configurations, data, unique to CHPS Community applications shared with other FEWS users FEWS FEWS is a suite of configurable modules which can store, manipulate, and display time series data using your own and community applications. CHPS is a uniquely configured realization of FEWS, using RFC-specific data and applications. Other FEWS-based systems (e.g., NFFS) are different realizationsof FEWS.

  4. General Approach • CAT RFCs bear brunt of the pain for all! • CAT RFCs go through migration one year ahead of other RFCs to work out wrinkles • CAT RFCs act as mentors for other RFCs during the main CHPS migration CHPS Status and Plans

  5. Implementation Strategy • Clear planning and execution • Gap analysis for essential operations • Use of existing calibrated parameter sets is essential • Pre-processing and post-processing utilities • AWIPS II integration • Staff training • Technical support • Many others… CHPS Status and Plans 5

  6. Implementation Strategy • Port models that require calibration • e.g., LAG/K, RES-J, SNOW-17, SSARRESV, UNIT-HG, RES-SNGL, SAC-SMA • Create adapters for several new models • e.g., HEC-RAS, HEC-ResSim • Rely on existing FEWS data and display utilities with identified enhancements • e.g., CHANGE-T, SET-TS, MERG-TS, LOOKUP3, ADJUST-Q, PLOT-TS • Provide for forecaster run-time modifications • Provide for existing level of ensemble operations, products, and services • Port ESP, ESPADP, ENS_PRE, ENS_POST, to use FEWS capabilities • Leverage FEWS existing ensemble capabilities • Future: XEFS CHPS Status and Plans 6

  7. Status/Recent Activities • Decision to implement CHPS using FEWS made Jan. 17 • Instituted Thursday CAT calls on Feb. 7 • First implementation planning sessions with Deltares on Feb. 21 & week of Apr. 14 in Silver Spring • Clarified CHPS-AWIPS II boundaries at AWIPS Task Order #10 Technical Interchange Meeting Apr. 29 – 30 at NWRFC CHPS Status and Plans

  8. Status/Recent Activities • CAT strategy session May 1 – 2 at NWRFC • NERFC replaced NCRFC in front runner RFCs following John Halquist move in June; Rob Shedd added to CAT • CHPS Implementation Workshop #01 held in Silver Spring week of June 16 • Latest status briefed to DOHs along with detailed demo on Jul. 15 • Latest status briefed to HICs today CHPS Status and Plans

  9. Implementation Phasing • Two tiers of deployment • CAT RFCs (AB, CN, NE, NW) • Initial hardware delivery in October 2008 • Initial migration software and training in January 2009 • Operational hardware delivery summer 2009 • Parallel operations by October 2009 • Remaining 9 RFCs • Initial hardware delivery in October 2009 • Migration/Systems training fall 2009 • Migration begins January 2010 • Parallel operations by October 2010 • RFCs not required to drop NWSRFS until “fully ready” CHPS Status and Plans 9

  10. Project Timeline CHPS Status and Plans

  11. Key Milestone Types • Preparation and progress workshops • ~ 3 per year starting June 2008 for CAT RFCs • ~ 3 per year starting December 2009 for 9 other RFCs • Spring 2009, 2010, 2011 for all RFCs • Software releases • ~ every 3 months during migration • Acceptance testing • Software: following major software deliveries • System: following the two major migrations • Configuration training • Just prior to the two migration periods • System management training • During & toward end of the two migration periods • User training • End of each migration period • Details being finalized for publication CHPS Status and Plans

  12. FEWS Hardware Infrastructure Duty System Standby System CHPS Status and Plans

  13. Useful Resources • Deltares wiki page for NWS FEWS users: • https://public.deltares.nl/login.action?os_destination=%2Fdisplay%2FFEWSUSA • Userid nws; Password nws123 • (Or go to https://public.deltares.nl/, click on “Log In”, enter userid and password, then select DELFT-FEWS USA. This also takes you to the CHPS area.) • (For wiki help, visit http://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/) • rfc.chps@noaa.gov • Harold and Chris will answer your questions CHPS Status and Plans

  14. HIC To Do List • Start thinking about upcoming milestones out to 2011 • CHPS Action Item No. 06-2008-81: • “Need HIC management commitment to plan leave around upcoming CHPS technical workshops and training sessions” • “Think of office position succession as the CHPS project evolves from now to 2011” • Start thinking about how to consolidate and re-use local applications in the CHPS era • Ask questions about CHPS or FEWS - rfc.chps@noaa.gov. • Go to wiki page (slide 12) and learn CHPS Status and Plans

  15. Discussion? CHPS Status and Plans
