ENSO Forcing of Streamflow Conditions in the Pearl River Basin - Technical Paper (.pdf)
-Long range forecasts of streamflow conditions can be improved by including the effects of El Nino/Southern Oscillation during operational procedures. This paper uses composite analysis techniques to relate above/below normal streamflows to ENSO episode and tests the skill of forecasts using 1982-2005 data.

  Forecasting Hurricane Storm Surge on the Mississippi River - Technical Paper (.pdf)
- A unique forecast problem for the LMRFC is the forecasting of stages on the lower Mississippi River when a hurricane induced storm surge is present. Storm surge waves move rapidly upstream and can cause significant damage and delays to barge traffic along the Mississippi River.

MAP Climatology
- In order to help the forecaster at the WFO with QPF forecasting, the LMRFC has been working on a MAP climatology program. This paper shows some of the statistics for a limited area.
El Nino - Effects on Rivers
- Much has been talked about concerning what effects El Nino is going to have this year. This paper takes a statistical look at how this weather phenomenon will affect the rivers in the LMRFC area.
