Team Members Project proposal General philosophy Project plan and requirements Initial Study Area Timeline LMRFC status/plans Issues and opportunities Today’s Discussion

MSU Staff LMRFC Staff Dr. Phil Amburn - Research Associate Professor GRI (Project PI) Dr. Robert Morehead - Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Dr. Jamie Dyer - Asst Professor Geosciences Department (previously at SERFC) Derek Irby John van der Zwaag Dave Reed (PI) David Welch – DOH David Ramirez – HEC-RAS leader Jeff Graschel – SCH Project Team Assistance from NWS OHD Deltares/Delft-hydraulics USACE HEC

Project Proposal Specific goal - the development of visual analytics tools to enable scientists and forecasters to better interpret and distribute hydrologic information. In plain language – develop tools to assist forecasters in evaluating the hydrology and hydraulics in forecast preparation and make inundation maps in real-time to support flood forecast operations. Funding provided to NGI and LMRFC.

RFC Mapping Opportunity NWS RFCs are migrating from FLDWAV-DWOPER to HEC-RAS with implementation of the Community Hydrologic Prediction System (CHPS). HEC-RAS models allow development of georeferenced models with high resolution datasets. Will have the data available to generate real-time inundation maps. Will help meet a long term request from NWS customers.

Application Design Requirements Coding to be easily transportable to other NWS field offices. Use open source tools and libraries compatible with NWS AWIPS system. Coding in Linux and Java to be platform independent. Developed as a standalone application compatible with HEC-RAS on AWIPS and eventually linked to CHPS. Be compatible with current NWS efforts in inundation mapping, HEC-RAS and CHPS.

Application Design Features Plan view inundation maps with map tool set (zoom, pan, identify, mouse over depths). River profile view or cross section (animated). Selectable overlays (imagery, terrain, cultural features). Ability to visualize animated time series, max water surface elevation, other hydraulic variables. Run as an interactive forecast tool in real-time or in batch mode for graphic generation. Output georeferenced data formats (shapefile, ascii grid, jpeg, gif, tiff, KML/KMZ). Test 3-D animations.

Pascagoula River Study Area Developed from LIDAR and USGS seamless 10m data. Bathymetry from University of Central Florida ADCIRC grid derived with USGS cross sections, USACE MOB hydrographic surveys. Stage/flow upstream boundaries. NOS tide and SLOSH/ADCIRC hydrograph as downstream boundary. Models the interface between land and sea. Study Area

Project Timeline Fall, 09  Hardware/Software procurement –  HEC-RAS development – LMRFC work ongoing Winter, 09 – MSU to Develop prototype GUI and HEC-DSS readers Summer, 10 – Provide alpha version of software to LMRFC for testing Winter, 11 – Beta version of software to LMRFC and others for testing Host mapping results on MSU website Summer, 11 - Update software based on user feedback Quarterly Meetings - Continual feedback and coordination between MSU and LMRFC

Flood Mapping Plans Pascagoula HEC-RAS model development about 70 % complete. Calibration and validation of inundation mapping results with historical floods (Spring 2009 and Katrina) Coordination with MSU, HEC, OHD and Deltares/Delft on software development. MSU Post Doctoral study on the visualization and mapping of uncertainty analysis.

Issues/Opportunities Developing this as an analysis tool not just a tool to create inundation maps. Opportunity to practice migration of research to operations. Dissemination of data to end users. Inundation mapping needs versus reality. Education of end user to the limitations of the product. Linkage with HEC – Linux tools that are in the Windows version of HEC-RAS?
