We encourage all new and long-time members of the HEPEX community, and others interested in hydrological forecasting, to gather at the AGU Fall Meeting HEPEX ‘Splinter’ Meeting in San Francisco, CA, on Wednesday, December 11th.

The event is listed in the conference program as:

EVENT186. Hydrological Ensemble Prediction Experiment (HEPEX) Splinter Meeting. Wednesday, 12:30 PM – 1:30 PM

The main goals of the meeting is informational, ie, for existing members to touch base and for new members to be able to ask questions about HEPEX and provide input or feedback — ie, your ideas to make HEPEX better!

HEPEX members will discuss current activities, including:

• Plans and Progress on the Handbook of Ensemble Hydrometeorological Forecasting
• Plans for an upcoming HEPEX 10th Anniversary Meeting in June 2014
