Project Description
The AQPI project is aimed at improving precipitation, streamflow, and coastal flood monitoring and forecasts in the San Francisco Bay area. It includes a network of observations and forecast modeling systems running in real time. The project is led by a consortium of federal, state, and local agencies including NOAA, USGS, Colorado State University, Scripps Institute of Oceanography, CA Department of Water Resources, and a collection of over 15 water management agencies in the Bay area. AQPI products and services are provided to meet stakeholder needs and requirements. This talk provides an overview of the AQPI project with an emphasis on stakeholder-driven coastal flooding forecasts.
Key Successes
Combined real time forecasts of precip, streamflow, and coastal water levels; stakeholder engagement to shape the project products and services
Challenges
wildfires, pandemic, file formats, compute capacity, data storage
