Confluence – Hydrologic research and forecast operations in one room. CIROH’s monthly webinar series alternates between CIROH science and partner operations: one presentation, then open Q&A. Formerly the R2O2R series.
Register once and you’re set for the full season – your personal join link works for every session. Sessions are held the fourth Thursday of each month, 2:00–3:00 PM Central, and are open to the CIROH consortium, partner agencies, and the broader water prediction community.
