Using FFMP Basins in AWIPS and Google Earth
By Tim BriceForecaster NWS-El Paso

Aren’t FFMP basins already in AWIPS?
FFMP program has worked well• Program came out of
NWS Pittsburgh via Bob Davis• Basins from NSSL via Ami Arthur • Created basin centric thinking
But there are some limitations• No topo reference• Fills in the whole basin
We do things different out West
Rugged terrain Limited observation points Intensity more important than how much
What can you do with modified basins
Get to know your area better Low Water Crossings Burn Scars High Risk Dams Problem Creeks/Arroyos
County DEM Derived Basins
