MFP

MFP is not a standalone modeling application; it is a part of the CWMS CAVI created to prepare the HMS meteorologic model for use in a forecast by combining observed data with forecast data and associating that data with the met model (Precip Alternative). 

Although most of your MFP alternatives from your CWMS 3.2.1 watershed should migrate to CWMS 3.2.2 without a problem, some alternatives may encounter one or more of the following issues. 

• When you open the MFP editor for an existing alternative, you get a message that reads:  "Invalid temperature values detected in zone: xxxx.  Fill out the manual temperature table, or specify a series of grids for temperature input." even though the MFP alternative does not currently process temperature data.  If you encounter this message, the recommended solution is to recreate the MFP alternative (use the "Save as.." feature that can be accessed by left clicking the MFP alternative in the setup tab) then replace the old MFP alternative with the new alternative in each relevant existing forecast run.
• If a misalignment occurs with table data in the MFP alternative editor (example here), resizing the table columns and/or the MFP Alternative Editor window will re-align the columns.
• If you get the message: "SEVERE: Precipitation transformation set (Insert transformation name here) does not exist", recreating the transformation should resolve this issue.
• MFP is having trouble with manual forecast temperature. Please use gridded temperature grids.  If you need to use manual forecast temperature and have issues, please contact HEC.
