Under this $649,970 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the Bureau of Reclamation under the SECURE Water Act - Research Agreements program (CFDA 15.560), the recipient Research Triangle Institute (RTI International) aims to pilot distributed modeling and enhanced snow products at two River Forecast Centers. The project will evaluate and apply distributed modeling techniques coupled with advanced snow data to enhance river flow forecasting capabilities at the Colorado Basin River Forecast Center (CBRFC) and the California Nevada River Forecast Center (CNRFC). The award period runs from March 2024 through March 2026.

Under this agreement, the recipient aims to take advantage of advances in the field of distributed modeling and modeling frameworks to put them into practice in a pilot program at two operational river forecast centers (rfcs): colorado basin river forecast center (cbrfc) and california nevada river forecast center (cnrfc). The project will evaluate and apply distributed modeling coupled with enhanced snow products developed in other accompanying projects.
