Description:

A case study for the San Francisco Bay area provides the context for quantification of the benefits of an Advanced Quantitative Precipitation Information (AQPI) system. An AQPI would dovetail with the current NWS forecast operations to provide incrementally higher resolution monitoring of rainfall events and longer lead time forecasts. Decisions on investments to obtain an operational AQPI system require demonstration that the benefits exceed the costs. Estimation of benefits involves characterization of the spectrum of human and ecological activities in which Bay area residents participate, including avoidance of flood damages, maximizing water supplies, and enhancing ecological, recreational and transportation services. A reconnaissance-level regional resource accounting approach has been developed to quantify AQPI benefits. Taken by category about 60% of the benefits are for flood damage mitigation (
