If you missed the Great Front Range Flood of 2013 research seminar, you can now check it out here. Hydrometeorology experts from NCAR and UCAR combine weather and water models for better prediction of floods. The seminar presented what has been learned so far from observations and modeling, including coupled hydrologic modeling. The presenters also… Read More
Did you miss it?

A post from Bryon Lawrence, CIRES scientist at NOAA’s Earth System Research Laboratory, bryon.lawrence@noaa.gov: I sometimes like to draw an analogy between weather and cooking. There are recipes for significant hydrometerological events, and for the Northern Front Range and the nearby plains of northeastern Colorado, the ingredients for a major rain and flood event came together… Read More
