Example of Spatial Display Uses

The Spatial Display has many uses, including:

  • depicting Flash Flood Guidance (FFG) values
  • showing values for Water Supply Forecasts
  • plotting forecast temperature and wind data help with timing of snow melt
  • highlighting areas where the soil moisture values are not consistent with neighbors, an indicator of errors in the water stored in the model’s “buckets”
