The OverTheLoop Streamflow
Forecast Demonstration Project

Several research projects at NCAR supporting the Over-The-Loop effort have been jointly funded by the US Army Corps of Engineers, the Bureau of Reclamation since 2013. NOAA has also contributed funding to support the current project effort at the University of Washington.
