Continental Scale Modeling: Process Heterogeneity from Summit to Sea
Continental Scale Modeling: Process Heterogeneity from Summit to Sea
Session ID#: 85513
Session Description:
The NWS Office of Water Prediction is leading development of the National Water Model (NWM). Ultimately, the NWM will include capabilities for forecasting the full suite of water budget variables from local to continental scales, providing insight into inland and coastal flooding, droughts, waterborne navigation, emergency response, water quality and water supply. Continental-scale hydrologic prediction represents a new frontier at the nexus of coupled atmospheric, hydrologic and coastal models, with important connections to subsurface processes, remote sensing, data assimilation, anthropogenic effects, big data, decision support, calibration and parameter estimation, machine learning, model testing and evaluation. The role of and adequate representations to simulate process heterogeneity over a range of scales is of particular interest. The development of the NWM provides natural collaborative opportunities and this session seeks presentations or posters on any of these topics, with a particular focus on facilitation of collaborations and enhancing community involvement.
