THE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA, TOGETHER WITH ITS PARTNERS, PROPOSES TO ESTABLISH THE COOPERATIVE INSTITUTE FOR RESEARCH TO OPERATIONS IN HYDROLOGY (CIROH), A NATIONAL CONSORTIUM OF 20 ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS AND 8 PARTNERS. CIROH AIMS TO ADVANCE THE NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION'S (NOAA'S) SCIENCE AND SERVICES CAPABILITIES TO PROVIDE ACTIONABLE WATER RESOURCES INTELLIGENCE. CIROH'S RESEARCH AIMS TO IMPROVE WATER PREDICTION AND SUPPORTS FOUR BROAD THEMES: (1) WATER RESOURCES PREDICTION CAPABILITIES; (2) COMMUNITY WATER RESOURCES MODELING; (3) HYDROINFORMATICS; AND (4) APPLICATION OF SOCIAL, ECONOMIC AND BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE TO WATER RESOURCES PREDICTION. CIROH'S INTEGRATED RESEARCH PROGRAM CONTRIBUTES TO THE NOAA/NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE'S MISSION-DIRECTED RESEARCH AND IMPROVED DATA SERVICE CAPABILITIES. IN ADDITION, CIROH OUTCOMES WILL INFORM HYDROLOGICAL PROCESS UNDERSTANDING, OPERATIONAL FORECASTING TECHNIQUES AND WORKFLOWS, COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT IN WATER QUANTITY AND QUA
