Model & Forecast Evaluation Working Group

Informs the creation of CIROH's model and forecast evaluation expectation, strategy, and implementation roadmap. Helps synthesize CIROH's model and forecast evaluation research advances with those from the hydrologic sciences community and organizes activities to advance this research area.

Leads: Shaun Carney, RTI

Reporting period: 2025-2026

Objectives

Solidify with guidance and examples CIROH's model and forecast evaluation approach, including "model/example" protocols for evaluation, definition of data, metrics, and tools for hydrologic modeling (simulation & forecasting), flood inundation mapping, forcing data, decision support, and observations.
Produce scholarly output documenting evaluation protocols and guidance.
Analyze CIROH's research portfolio and broader research community model and forecast evaluation research and inform CIROH's research and development strategy and roadmap.
