About AHPS |
|
The Advanced Hydrologic
Prediction Services (or AHPS for short) is a congressionally funded
service improvement program that allows us to incrementally introduce new
products and services across the country. The goals of AHPS are to:
-
Produce more accurate
products incorporating advanced hydrologic science into our models.
-
Provide more specific
and timely information on fast-rising floods with increased lead time.
-
Create easier to use
products in new formats, including graphics.
-
Create information
useful in assessing risk to flooding including forecast probability.
-
Provide products with
forecast horizons for two weeks into the future and beyond.
-
Increase the
distribution of products using advanced information technologies (e.g.
Internet) therefore, providing broader and more timely access and
delivery of information.
-
Expand outreach and
engage partners and customers in all aspects of hydrologic product
improvement.
