New Developments and Future Directions in Community Water Resources Modeling – Synergy at the Interface of Process Understanding, Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science, Operations, and Decision Making
Session ID#: 252712
Session Description:
The emergence of artificial intelligence and access to high-performance computing in hydrology is leading to transformation in water prediction research. New continental domain hydrologic modeling capabilities are enhancing the ability for researchers to develop new perspectives, approaches, and tools that empower them to make coordinated, impactful, and sustained advances to water prediction capabilities. This potential is seen in the recent developments in NOAA’s Next Generation Water Resources Modeling Framework with research support from the Cooperative Institute for Research to Operations in Hydrology (CIROH). Across the community, advances in open software development, cloud computing, process representation, parameter estimation, uncertainty quantification, model coupling, machine learning, and social hydrology are resulting in rapid advances in the accuracy and interpretability of water predictions. This session invites contributions from those making advancements in any aspects of water prediction that can be mobilized and used in community water resources modeling frameworks.
