THORPEX/HEPEX Hydrologic Prediction System (THEPS)

Last Updated on Monday, 06 December 2010 10:17

THEPS is a project which integrates the HEPEX project within the THORPEX project.
HEPEX is an ideal partner for the THORPEX program in a very important area of weather forecast applications. A hydrologic component, the THORPEX/HEPEX Hydrologic Ensemble Prediction System (THEPS) is proposed as a joint THORPEX/HEPEX collaborative activity within the THORPEX project.

This project would have 3 goals:

  1. Assess how the TIGGE datasets and THORPEX science plan can meet the requirements of the HEPEX community.
  2. Provide feedback to the THORPEX community on the information content of TIGGE and THORPEX scientific questions , and hence contribute to the design and development of GIFS.
  3. Help the HEPEX community in using the TIGGE datasets and THORPEX research outputs within Hydrological EPSs.

Hydrological applications range across scales from catchments of less than a few km2 to continental scale. It can
