Flash Flood Monitoring and Prediction (FFMP)

• RPS List Needs
  The following WSR-88D products must be included in the AWIPS RPS list of each dedicated radar in order to run the full FFMP2.0 functionality on each of those radars:
          -  Digital Hybrid Scan Reflectivity (DHR), 256 level, 1o x 1km resolution, product #32, vital 
  
  
• Small Basin Shapefiles
  For each of your dedicated radars, you need to have a shapefile set. This shapefile set can be obtained on a CD from NWSHQ. Contact Michael.Mercer@noaa.gov for information.
  
  
• Forced FFG
  "In this version of FFMP, you can force FFM to use the FFG values you want it to. This is done via a command-line driven, text application. Instructions on how to use it are in the User's Guide.
  
  
• Customizing Basin Shapefiles
  Using Arc software, you can change the contents of your small basin shapefile set. For example, you may want to aggregate certain basins or redifine urban ares, etc. An entire training course is devoted to this subject. For more information, either contact Michael.Mercer@noaa.gov or visit the training page.
