Chesapeake Focus Research Group
Reports
Wen:
- CCA application in the Bay area. Do a simple application. Couple some models.
- we need new people, students and technical staff - teaching and training - getting more funding
- ChesROMS has some add-ons - work with ROMS and bring it in as a component
- Consider getting new hires to work with Bay projects at CSDMS and to work with the CCA and CSDMS standards here
Chris:
- Data-model integration - how do they talk? - what are the tools? - synchronizing data and models
- HIS people are working on observational models to go to different sources of data and pull it in in a standard format - WaterML
- Visualization tools -
- PIHM - sediment model - 3D equations - solute transport - all this will go to the CSDMS site - already on SourceForge - working on NetCDF - non-structured grid
- Get a person who can spend time at the Boulder shop - write a proposal for an NSF fellowship - get money to fund this person at CRC
- Short statement for this hire
Raleigh:
- Find funding for dedicated person
- Joint CSDMS/CCMP person - industrial consortium - find corporate moneys - work with Kevin
Carl:
- Using ROMS for sediment transport - version of ROMS that is usable - a module in CSDMS
- Connect ROMS with other models - get a generic ROMS with clearly identified connections to use in various applications
- 1-D applications GOTM - open source, in Germany - can become a module - Tom Hsu
- Data assimilation
Andrew
- Urban watersheds - assimilating data from dense networks - using different existing models
- CUASHI HIS interaction
- Coupling urban growth and hydrologic models - how to integrate Urban modules
Larry:
- Matlab to Python
- Sediment transport models
Peter:
- Sediment transport models and mechanisms
- Computational tools for people who don’t have much skills - small simple codes in Visual Basic -
- Interoperability
- 1 D routing model Corps HEC RAS - get it into open source
- Using high resolution topography - GIS
- Portal to CSDMS has to be more enticing - needs coordinating documents - needs other formats
Gary:
- Model applications
- Putting fully functional models on the web site - posting applications together with data - SIMS database
- Model wrappers
- Use BOINC - set up a distributed computational project - see http://boinc.berkeley.edu/
