OM33B:
Inland-Coastal Model Coupling Using a Community-Based Approach I
Session ID#: 93221
Session Description:
Millions of Americans living in coastal areas do not have access to accurate water information such as fresh and saltwater flooding, water quality and water availability for time scales ranging from single events to climatological. Current hydrodynamic and hydrologic models do not properly represent the complexity of the transition among coastal, estuarine, and riverine processes. Coupling of these models, informed by stakeholder requirements and enhanced by collaborative community research, can help to fill this gap to provide actionable information at local, regional, and national scales. The coupling effort is envisioned to result in a continental-scale capability to inform decisions related to inland and coastal flooding, navigation, emergency hazard response, water quality, and water management. The partnerships and collaborations across disciplinary and geographic boundaries that support inland-coastal model coupling activities will help to advance the development of a community-based modeling approach in support of the NOAA Water Initiative and NOAA's Unified Forecasting framework as well as the needs of other organizations for water information across this geographic region. Inland-coastal coupling is a nexus of atmospheric, coastal, and hydrologic modeling, with connections to subsurface processes, remote sensing, data assimilation, anthropogenic effects, big data, decision support, calibration and parameter estimation, machine learning, model testing, and evaluation. This session welcomes contributions on any of these topics, as well as the facilitation of collaborations, and enhancing community involvement.
