  1. Seasonal to Two Year Streamflow Prediction INL MWWIWaters of the West WorkshopSalt Lake City, UTJuly 19, 2011 Andy Wood Kevin Werner NOAA/NWS Colorado Basin River Forecast Center

  2. Climate-Flow Forecast Research Motivations • ISI climate predictability is relatively limited in our region (CB) • water management in 7 states depends on regional climate and flow forecasts • plot -- JFM Precip correlation with Nino 3.4, lag 1 season

  3. SI/Y2 Climate and Streamflow Forecasting Workshop NOAA/NWS Colorado Basin River Forecast Center Salt Lake City, UT – March 21-22, 2011 Organized by Sponsored by CBRFC Colorado Water Conservation Board Reclamation NIDIS Academic Researchers Gillies & Wang, USU Troch, UA Piechota, UNLV Moradkani, PSU Rajagopalan, CSU Wolter, CU Streamflow Forecasting Research Development Operations CBRFC OHD Partners in Water Management Reclamation Colorado Basin Others: Becky Smith (student, CSU); Sponsors (CWCB) and Consultant (RTI) Outcomes: (1) future workshop; (2) forecasting testbed

  4. CFS Seasonal Forecast Skill - Precipitation

  5. Example of Experimental Ensembles Yampa River Below Craig, CO GFS and CFS based ensembles: experimental products updated daily at Colorado RFC (CBRFC) & California-Nevada RFC (CNRFC) flood GFS CFS www.cbrfc.noaa.gov/devel/hefs/ 5

  6. Linkage to Water/Energy Management • Average contribution to Lake Powell Apr-Jul inflow: • Green River 34% • Colorado River 50% • San Juan River 13% In development… CFS-based flow forecasts for Reclamation water management Stakeholder Allocations Reclamation Midterm-Probabilistic Model Graphic from Dr. Katrina Grantz, Bureau of Reclamation 6 6
