Winter Outlook Workshop Aims to Improve Precipitation Forecasting
     
DWR and the Scripps Center for Western Weather and Water Extremes led a working meeting with researchers at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, November 16-18, 2016. The workshop focused on efforts to improve seasonal precipitation forecasting, which could help agencies better manage water resources.

“We'd all like to know if 2017 will be wet or dry, but determining that is scientifically difficult. We’re trying to emphasize the need for prioritizing this research in the science community,” said Jeanine Jones, Interstate Resources Manager at DWR.
