Streamflow Viewer allows app viewers fast visualization to explore streamflow forecasts. This app includes the GEOGLOWS Streamflow Model map service, which is a multiday river forecast from the European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasting (ECMWF), with streamflow reported in three-hour time intervals. This app also includes the United States National Water Model, a forecast model for river streamflow across the contiguous United States from the NOAA's National Water Prediction Service. Both services are updated once daily. App viewers can interact with a chart showing the return period flow for a specific stream segment and animate changes in forecast data for each stream segment using the time slider.
