Presentation Transcript

  1. Hydrodynamic Modeling Summary: Still working on it Hydrodynamic Modeling Dave Schwab

  2. Hydrodynamic Modeling Team Meteorology/ Climatology • Develops, tests, integrates, and implements numerical models of lake circulation, water levels, waves, and lake thermal structure to understand and predict the effects of the physical environment on the ecosystem Ice Integrated Ecological Modeling Framework Hydrodynamics Hydrology Ecology

  3. Key Scientific Questions • How can we better characterize the exchange of momentum and heat between the atmosphere and the lake because these are the primary forces that determine lake circulation?

  4. What are the critical factors that limit our ability to accurately predict physical phenomena in the lakes? Measured (black) and predicted (red) currents in Lake St. Clair

  5. What are the appropriate linkages between physics and biology for particular ecological processes? 7-day forecast for location of Microcystis bloom in Lake Erie Sept. 13, 2010

  6. How do we effectively provide information from hydrodynamic models to our collaborators, users, and constituents?

  7. Hydrodynamics Modeling Team Scales of Application Years Model-Based Ecosystem Forecasts Climate Impacts Ecosystem Change Exposure Risk Hydrodynamic and Ice Models Seasons Habitat Migration Species Abundance Invasive Spread Months Frequency of Forecast Scenario-Based Forecasts Resource Recovery Disease Transmission Weeks Hypoxia Formation Larval Pathways Trajectory-Based Forecasts Spill Response Days Beach Advisories Spatial Extent of Forecast Local Regional Global
