Forecasted Basin-Average Accumulated Precipitation (GFS - 168 Hrs)

This polygon layer presents the spatial distribution of forecasted accumulated precipitation from the Global Forecast System (GFS) over watershed sub‑basins. GFS APCP raster data are overlaid with global watershed boundaries, and zonal statistics are computed to derive average precipitation per sub‑basin over a 7‑day (168‑hour) period. This product aids in global disaster preparedness and water management planning.

GFS model output is processed into APCP rasters that capture accumulated precipitation over a 7‑day forecast period. These rasters are then combined with watershed boundary data, and zonal statistics are applied to compute average precipitation for each sub‑basin. The final polygon features provide a clear depiction of global rainfall and snowfall patterns, offering critical information for disaster risk management and international water resource planning.
