8 FY10 Training HPC Visits –January (?) HPC to each RFC soliciting requests –Can request a visit to RFC or sending person to HPC –Visits generally 2-3 days –$5K usually funds 4-6 visits. COMET$227k ER,CR,SR,WR$10k AR$8k RFC/HPC Visits$5k AHPS FY10 Hydro Training

9 FY10 Training FY10 Workshops –GFE/RFC, NWSTC, Q4 –Ensembles At risk; consider HEC-RAS training??? –CHPS allocation (migration workshop) FY09 Workshops –Verification, CBRFC, Dec 2008 –Calibration, LMRFC, Mar 2009 –Steady HEC-RAS, HEC, Apr 2009 –Unsteady HEC-RAS, NERFC, Apr 2009, 2 CAT RFCs

10 FY10 Training Priority Reserve List Possibilities –Two hydro topics rated high Cold Region Hydrology QPE Tools –Both submitted as FY11 Performance Needs Statements (PNSs)

11 FY11 NSTEP 16 Hydro PNSs Submitted Guaranteed Funding –Adv Hyd Science Residence –WCM/SCH Residence (WM04) –Cold Region Hydro may be a lock based on discussions Process –PNSs provided late January –Ranking performed late February –April meeting in Boulder –Plan public early July

12 FY11 NSTEP Priorities Top 4 –CHPS –Workshops –Ensemble topics Middle 6 tightly packed –QPE Tools –WFO Prog Mgmnt –Adv WFO Hydro Apps –Flash Flood Ops –Cold Region Hydro –HEC-RAS Near-bottom 3 –QPF –Inundation QC –Water Supply Bottom 2 –AWIPS updates for RFCs/WFOs

13 FY11 NSTEP Other FY11 PNS –GIS topics (GEO01/02) –Sat Remote Sensing for Hydro (IS06) –AWIPS Variance/FFMP (IT06) –Decision Support (ME41) –Storm Survey (ME60) –Professional Development Series (PDS) update for each program area (Hydro: IN09) Hydro Competencies Action

14 CHPS Training Need –Most urgent –Largest Solution –Near-term solution focus on Deltares –Long-term solution focus on NWSTC CHPS Training Plan –Being developed by OHD –Coordinated with HSD

15 Conclusion Questions/Discussion?
