HPC's Mission and Vision
Welcome to the HPC
Located
in the NOAA Center for Weather and Climate Prediction in College Park, MD, the Hydrometeorological
Prediction Center is one of the nine National Centers for Environmental Prediction
(NCEP), which is part of the National Weather Service (NWS). The
HPC exists to meet the real-time weather information needs of a growing
group of users including NWS field offices, other governmental agencies,
the media, the private sector, academic institutions, the international
community, and the general public. We support the NWS mission of
protecting lives and property and enhancing the national economy.
We have created this web site so you can learn more about our operations
and view our latest products.
