Hot Items 2002NSSL works with Taiwanese agencies
NOAA's National Severe Storms Laboratory and Forecast Systems Laboratory are collaborating with the Central Weather Bureau and Water Resources Agency of Taiwan to develop a Hydrometeorological Decision Support System (HDSS) for Taiwan. The two agencies are hoping to improve the country capabilities to issue flash flood and flood warnings and to improve their river and reservoir water management. The project will run from 2002-2005.
The first year's accomplishments include: establishing infrastructure for real-time radar, rain gage, model and sounding data ingest, completing basic infrastructure and configuration of the HDSS for Taiwan, initial deployment of the HDSS with a Web-based product display system, and generating a suite of radar analysis and quantitative precipitation estimation products in real-time.
