Hydrometeorological Prediction Center - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Hydrometeorological Prediction Center is one of several Service Centers under the umbrella of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP), operating under the control of the National Weather Service, which in turn is part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) of the U.S. government. The HPC serves as a center of excellence in Quantitative Precipitation Forecasting, Medium Range Forecasting (three to seven days) and the interpretation of numerical weather prediction models. The HPC was created in October 1995, when the former National Meteorological Center was reorganised into the NCEP. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Hydrometeorological_Prediction_Center   (160 words)

NOAA CREATES NATIONAL CENTERS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL PREDICTION The NCEP, headquartered in Camp Springs, Md., has nine components that work together to provide a broad suite of forecasts: seven science-based, service-oriented centers to generate environmental predictions; and two central support centers to develop and operate the numerical models on which the predictions are based. The National Meteorological Center was established in 1958 to transfer the discipline of numerical weather prediction from the research environment to operational weather forecasting. The Marine Prediction Center, a joint National Weather Service/National Ocean Service facility to be located in Monterey, Calif., will issue forecasts and warnings for hazardous weather and sea conditions in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, Gulf of Mexico and offshore areas of Alaska, and the east and west coastal waters of the United States. www.publicaffairs.noaa.gov /pr95/may95/ncep.html   (805 words)
