WE PROPOSE ADDITIONAL RESEARCH TO CHARACTERIZE THE SOCIOECONOMIC BENEFITS OF THE GRACE-BASED DROUGHT AND FLOOD FORECASTS THAT WILL BE DEVELOPED BY THE PRIMARY PROJECT. OUR SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH TEAM RECENTLY COMPLETED A PROJECT TO QUANTIFY THE VALUE THE INFORMATION (VOI) FROM THE EXISTING SUITE OF WEEKLY GRACE DATA ASSIMILATION (DA) BASED DROUGHT/WETNESS INDICATORS CONDUCTING A VOI ANALYSIS FOR GRACE-BASED FORECASTS IS A NATURAL EXTENSION OF THIS PREVIOUS WORK. OUR RESEARCH TEAM HAS A WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH INVESTIGATORS FROM THE PRIMARY PROJECT WHICH WILL FACILITATE THE EXCHANGE OF DATA ANALYSES AND MODELING CAPABILITIES BETWEEN THE PROPOSED PROJECT AND THE PRIMARY PROJECT. WE WILL ALSO ENSURE THAT RESULTS FROM OUR PROJECT ARE COMMUNICATED REGULARLY TO INVESTIGATORS FROM THE PRIMARY PROJECT.
