AHPS expands the capabilities and supports enhancements to NOAA's goal to provide short- to longer-term (hours to days to several months) operational forecast products. In turn, these products provide for disaster mitigation, due to floods and droughts, and water resource management.
AHP Services are provided using historical and forecasted weather and climate data from the NWS, and the application of stream gaged data, channel cross-section data and water facility operations information from other federal and local agencies (i.e., US Geological Survey, US Department of Agriculture, US Army Corps of Engineers and the US Bureau of Reclamantion.)
