3/26/08 - FFMP Alpha Test Ends
FFMP Advanced Alpha Test Ends The FFMP Advanced Alpha Test has concluded at FFC (Atlanta), HFO (Honolulu), HGX (Houston), MTR (Monterrey), LOX (Los Angeles), PBZ (Pittsburgh), SLC (Salt Lake City), and SGF (Springfield, MO). We had a very fruitful test, identifying and fixing a number of bugs and polishing the user interface. We hope the reception of FFMP Advanced in OB8.3 will be smooth.

12/13/07 - Critical Update of Small Basin Files for OB8.3 FFMP
ACTION : ALL WFO's must update their small basin files before they install OB8.3. See the Critical Update of Small Basin Files for OB8.3 document for more information.

ATTENTION : Ami Arthur will host a webinar training session regarding this process on February 5, 2008 at 2PM EST. Each office must register for the webinar.

FFMP Forced FFG GUI
In OB3, the Forced FFG functionality is now available in GUI form. You can ensure that only FFMP uses the FFG values you think are best. This is especially beneficial when you are trying to deal with a fire scar or urban area that the RFC-issued FFG usually does not handle well. See the FFMP OB3 list of new functionality.
3/1/06 - FFMP Basin Trace
In AWIPS OB6, FFMP will provide the capability to know where water will go from a given basin and what water flows into a given basin. In order to enable this, you will need to download the new 'ref_sl' connectivity small basin shapefiles from NOAA1 sftp. Here are instructions . Check the FFMP OB6 User's Guide to see how to produce Basin Traces.
3/1/06 - FFMP in OB7.2
FFMP will have some nice enhancements in AWIPS OB7.2. You will have a more friendly and thorough Service Backup capability, the Zoom X has returned, and you can now tell the difference between regular and forced FFG in the Basin Table. Keep an eye on this page for upcoming documentation.
