Cooperative Institute for Research to Operations in Hydrology (CIROH)
This community brings together the CIROH working groups in HydroShare for easier data access and sharing
CIROH, a partnership between NOAA and The University of Alabama, is a national consortium committed to advancing water prediction – the forecasting of streamflow entering water systems, extreme events such as floods and droughts, and water quality – and building community resilience to water-related challenges. CIROH scientists, from 28 different institutions—academic, government, and private, work to improve the understanding of hydrologic processes, operational hydrologic forecasting techniques and workflows, community water modeling, translation of forecasts to actionable products, and use of water predictions in decision making.

Groups that are Members of this Community
Anyone can join this group, and any resources shared with this group will be listed and accessible to members. The 2024 CIROH Developers Conference will be held May 29-June 1 in Salt Lake City. https://ciroh.ua.edu/devconference/.
This working group's task is to Develop recommendations for interoperable standards and governance policies and procedures for CIROH’s community developmental version of the NextGen Framework. Develop recommendations for hydrologic model representation across the North American domain. Coordinate with CIROH and other WGs to plan research compute needs.
The task of the CIROH Hydroinformatics group is to Compile recommendations for a CIROH data governance and data sharing policy. Develop recommendations for a data management/sharing strategy for CIROH. Define recommendations for interoperable standards for web app and mobile app development. Develop recommendations for FIM methods nationally. Group leads: Dan Ames Brigham Young University dan.ames@byu.edu Belize Lane Utah State University belize.lane@usu.edu
Synthesis of forecast design research into recommendations for practice. Develop recommendations for standard methods to enhance data sharing and reproducibility to enhance synthesis and extensibility of the research to impact national scale operations. Develop recommendations for standards/procedures for climate change impact on hydrologic system studies.
The task of this group is to: Develop definition, standards, and guidance for creation and management of CIROH’s prediction system testbed and model evaluation tools.
