Integration of Global Precipitation Measurement Data Product with theHydrologic Engineering Center-Hydrologic Modeling System The University of Mississippi Geoinformatics Center Lance D. Yarbrough, PI Joel S. Kuszmaul, Co-PI
Experiment Collaborators • MRC–RPC team • Lance D. Yarbrough and Joel S. Kuszmaul • Tennessee Tech • Faisal Hossain • NASA at GSFC • Bob Adler • SSAI at GSFC • George Huffman
Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) • Launch: June 2013 • GPM will initiate the measurement of global precipitation, a key climate factor
Final DSS HEC-HMS FIT
Questions to answer in RPC • Which option is more appropriate: • an error propagation • a probabilistically downscaled? • How much to downscale? • Which product is more beneficial? • What are the implications?
Location of basins • Upper Cumberland River, TN • Upper Yazoo Basin, MS • Lower Pearl River, MS
Earth System Models: • Army Corps of Engineers HEC-HMS model • Spatial analysis algorithms • Benefits: • Identify water supply demands • Now-casting of real-time flooding events • Flood hazard assessment • Asset Management and flood mitigation • Decisions Support: • HAZUS-MH (FEMA) • Predictions and Measurements: • Event/Seasonal runoff for modeled basins • Point specific hydrographs • Flood water extent • Earth Observations: • GPM proxy data
Current Progress • Upper Cumberland River • HEC-HMS calibrated • TMPA data obtained from GSFC • Upper Yazoo River • HEC-HMS geometry validated • Dates selected • Lower Pearl River • HEC-HMS geometry being assembled
Why these basins ? • Each is within different climate zones as defined by the NEON project • Each represent differing geology and topology • Upper Cumberland River, TN • mountainous • Upper Yazoo Basin, MS • low land interior • Lower Pearl River, MS • coastal
