To date , over half of local NWS offices throughout the U.S. are receiving FLASH products into their operational AWIPS2 systems. <strong>During the week of July 2, FLASH products will be disseminated to all NWS offices in the lower 48 states via the Satellite Broadcast Network.<\/strong> This completes a major milestone for the team!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 1rem\">\u00a0The success of FLASH was largely attributed to the number of graduate students, post-docs, and research scientists who contributed and the NWS forecasters who participated and provided valuable feedbacks during the HMT-Hydro testbed experiments from 2014-2016.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 1rem\">Throughout the project, the team published 12 articles in peer-reviewed journals, 4 of which were in the <\/span><em style=\"font-size: 1rem\">Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society<\/em><span style=\"font-size: 1rem\">. The FLASH project resulted in 7\u00a0<\/span>graduate<span style=\"font-size: 1rem\">\u00a0students earning Ph.D.s, 1 earning an M.S., and supported numerous visiting student interns.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>While we have reached this major milestone, we continue to develop. FLASH is being reframed into a fully probabilistic framework, called Pro-FLASH. This consideration of uncertainty in the modeling process accommodates forcings from ensemble precipitation forecasts. This can increase the lead time with the distributed hydrologic forecasts, but must consider the associated uncertainties with the forcings. We are also developing FLASH products for our outer-CONUS domains including Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, and the Caribbean. Lastly, we are forging relationships in the private sector so that FLASH can assist in operations related to transportation and beyond.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 1rem\"> \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The FY2013 Disaster Assistance Supplemental provided support for the project titled \u201cDevelop Improved Predictions of Inland Flooding\u201d, which was led by the the late Prof. Peter Lamb, CIMMS Director, and&#8230; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/inside.nssl.noaa.gov\/flash\/2018\/06\/flash-system-transitioned-to-the-national-weather-service-revolutionizes-tools-used-for-flash-flood-forecasting\/\" class=\"more-link\">Read more \u00bb<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":153,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-601","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/inside.nssl.noaa.gov\/flash\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/601","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/inside.nssl.noaa.gov\/flash\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/inside.nssl.noaa.gov\/flash\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inside.nssl.noaa.gov\/flash\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/153"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inside.nssl.noaa.gov\/flash\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=601"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/inside.nssl.noaa.gov\/flash\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/601\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":608,"href":"https:\/\/inside.nssl.noaa.gov\/flash\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/601\/revisions\/608"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/inside.nssl.noaa.gov\/flash\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=601"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inside.nssl.noaa.gov\/flash\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=601"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inside.nssl.noaa.gov\/flash\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=601"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
