A new COM-funded study highlights water resource challenges in the Western U.S.
CPO’s Climate Observations and Monitoring (COM) program is announcing two new two-year projects in Fiscal Year 2023 (FY23) that aim to improve the research on precipitation datasets. The competitively selected projects total four hundred seventy-nine thousand dollars in grants1. These precipitation projects, chosen in response to the Disaster Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (DRSA) of 2022
CPO announced $1.2 million in FY23 funding for projects that aim to build new databases for precipitation information and analysis.
