Blog: New forecast tool looks three weeks ahead for chances of atmospheric rivers
The public release of this product, and the underlying research supporting it, is part of a joint partnership between CW3E and NASA JPL, sponsored by the California Department of Water Resources, to improve the two-week to two-month lead time of forecasts, known as subseasonal-to-seasonal (S2S) forecasts. The aim of these improved forecasts of atmospheric rivers and precipitation is to benefit western U.S. water resource management.
