A National Water Model of the United States will begin operations in Jun e 2016 at a new National Water Center (link is external) opened by the Nati onal Weather Service in Tuscaloosa, AL. Using this model the National Weath er Service will continually forecast flow on about 2.7 million stream reach es of the NHDPlus geospatial dataset of stream hydrography covering the con tinental United States as a single stream and river network. The academic c ommunity, coordinated through the Consortium of Universities for Hydrologic Science, Inc, (CUAHSI), is collaborating with the National Weather Service to conduct a seven-week Summer Institute at the National Water Center in J une-July 2016 to allow graduate students to conduct research and carry out group projects advancing the application of the National Water Model. In pa rticular, a national-scale experiment is being carried out at the CyberGIS Center for Advanced Digital and Spatial Studies at the University of Illino is to analyze the land surface terrain around the stream network to charact erize the 3D stream channel morphology thus enabling the conversion of flow forecasts into forecasts of water surface elevation and flood inundation a t the continental scale.
UCGIS and CUAHSI are together supporti
ng the engagement of their respective communities in this experiment and in
the 2016 Summer Institute for which the call for student applications is n
ow open. This webinar will provide background concerning the National Water
Model, the 2016 Summer Institute, and the continental-scale stream channel
morphology experiment enabled by cutting-edge cyberGIS capabilities and re
search.
The recorded session for this presentation can be found at the UCGIS Webinar channel.
