Data Science
We turn raw hydrometeorological data into clean, actionable insights using automated QA/QC, custom Python tools, and best-practice workflows.
Beyond stewardship, we operationalize analytics. NHC delivers automated reports and forecasts for snow, precipitation, and flow, integrates live networks with hydrologic models, and builds reliable telemetry systems with team training for confident operation.
