Establishes the Atmospheric Rivers Research and Forecast Improvement Program in the Department of Water Resources.

The bill establishes the Atmospheric Rivers Research and Forecast Improvement Program in the Department of Water Resources. The program aims to research, develop, and implement new observations, prediction models, and novel forecasting methods for atmospheric rivers. It will use experimental tools to produce seasonal and subseasonal atmospheric river forecasts and tailored decision support systems. The program will improve predictions of atmospheric rivers and their impacts on water supply, flooding, post-wildfire debris flows, and environmental conditions.
