Water Vapor Forecast
Image from a 15-hour forecast of IWV (Integrated Water Vapor); an estimate of the total amount of water in the atmosphere that could become precipitation. CalWater 2015 provides an opportunity to test new forecast methods by challenging them with observational data. Hot colors (red) indicate high values; cool colors (blue) indicate low values. The San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) and the University of California, San Diego are providing modeling, data management, visualization resources, and expertise to CalWater 2015.
