An atmospheric river event is heading our way. We can feel it coming in the air...tonight. Water releases might pick up at some of our dams. But we don’t foresee any major impacts beyond potentially higher-than-normal river levels. #atmosphericriver #rain

Sean Smith, USACE, credits this change in funding for water-control manual revisits and revisions largely to interest stirred by Forecast Informed Reservoir Operations activities and successes in California. That interest is everywhere now! CW3E Scripps 9th Annual FIRO Workshop

If only there was a center somewhere for studying weather and water extremes….. CW3E Scripps

Climate change makes managing reservoirs harder than ever. We’re part of the Forecast-Informed Reservoir Operations effort, which uses modern forecasts to improve water management decisions. Learn more on the latest episode of the Power of ERDC podcast: poweroferdcpodcast.org/forecast-infor…

Dr. Duncan Axisa, CO-PI of Dr. Luca Delle Monache, 4th Cycle Awardee of #UAEREP, and his teammate talk to #UAEREP’s delegation about their project titled: “Forecast Informed Reservoir Operations (FIRO): Overview and Pilot programs”.

Nice to see our efforts at improving AR forecasts highlighted on the front page of CNN. U.S. Army ERDC is proud to support CW3E Scripps vital research that is helping a drought-then-flood-weary west. cnn.com/2023/01/09/wea…

"We are honored to host the Mekong/Mississippi Sister River Commission. It's a great opportunity to present to representatives from the Mekong sub-region on FIRO and all the innovative work CW3E is doing to improve forecasts to support FIRO." - Marty Ralph, CW3E Scripps director

Glad to have had the opportunity to contribute to Saqib Rahim’s nice article. FIRO is an excellent tool in the toolbox of making our existing infrastructure work harder for us, particularly as we face the challenges of a changing climate with more intense weather extremes.

Spillway… spilling at Oroville: the balancing act of making room for incoming runoff inflows will maintaining levels for the rest of the year. Better management possible through forecast informed reservoir operations (FIRO) #CAwx 1/31/2024
