	Other Case Studies of Interest
	In our efforts to make the COMET case studies available on the WWW, we have found many case studies developed by NWS offices, universities, and government agencies available on the Web. The purpose of providing this information is to promote the free and open exchange of case studies and data references within the hydro- meteorological community. We will list the case studies we find. Please let us know if you have developed any case studies, or know of any case study material, that we are not linked to.
