Background
The Coastal Survey Development Laboratory (CSDL) at NOAA's National Ocean Service (NOS) is engaging Virginia Institute of Marine Science's (VIMS) help for NOAA's activities related to the Integrated Water Modeling objectives.
Description of tasks
In this project the VIMS team, led by Dr. Joseph Zhang, will collaborate with teams in NOAA and UCAR to accomplish the following tasks:
Task 1: Coordinate with NOAA's CSDL to set up and test SCHISM on NOAAâ's HSOFS (Hurricane Surge On-demand Forecast System) grid utilizing SCHISM's advanced 3D vertical layer capabilities.
Task 2: Develop an updated grid around Delaware Bay that takes advantage of SCHISM's polymorphism (1D/2D/3D grids) to seamlessly input freshwater flow from National Water Model (NWM).
Task 3: Test the new HSOFS+Delaware Bay grid on events/scenarios used by other Integrated Water Modeling projects and compare results.
Task 4: Extend NWM connection to SCHISM for the whole HSOFS mesh coverage.
