Publications
The GEOGLOWS ECMWF Streamflow Service grew primarily from academic research at Brigham Young University. Considerable work was done to develop and evaluate the technologies which enable this hydrologic model. This is an abbreviated list of publications which resulted from this research. We acknowledge that many scientists and researchers contributes to the successful development and operation of this model.
