Rodeo.  The Forecast Rodeo is a year-long, real-time forecasting
competition focused on western U.S. temperature and precipitation for weeks
3&4 and weeks 5&6, sponsored by the Bureau of Reclamation in partnership
with NOAA, USGS, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.  This forecasting
competition invited solvers to submit forecasts of temperature and
precipitation for one year, competing in real-time against other teams as
well as official forecasts from NOAA. More information can be found here

We invite you to attend and participate in this unique event that will
showcase the strength of new technologies that may be incorporated into
prediction strategies, completed through community participation
