... THE SCIENCE Several people interviewed expressed concerns about the data and models that are the foundation of AHPS. For instance, many hydrologists who use AHPS products remain unconvinced about the adequacy of precipitation and temperature data as they affect quantitative precipitation forecasts (QPFs)
