Eligibility

Eligible Applicants: Others (see text field entitled “Additional Information on Eligibility” for clarification)
Additional Information on Eligibility: This financial assistance opportunity is being issued under a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program. CESU’s are partnerships that provide research, technical assistance, and education. Eligible recipients must be a participating partner of the Southern Appalachian Mountains Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program.

Additional Information

Agency Name: Geological Survey
Description: The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for a research project which involves updating ATLSS SESI models in response to the projected completion of the new SFWMD model for hydrology across South Florida, the Regional Simulation Model (RSM). As time and resources permit, ATLSS SESI models need to be modified to incorporate recent information while being made compatible with RSM by updating the SESI models to utilize ATLSS Landscape Classes v3. This would allow ATLSS SESI models to utilize the variable spatial mesh output of the RSM.

The objectives of the proposed study are as follows:
• Update ATLSS models and procedures in response to the anticipated release of RSM.
• Evaluate alternative formulations of the ATLSS SESI models in recoding them to utilize
• ATLSS Landscape Classes v3.

The proposed project has several components. The following list provides a summary of activities. These goals will be carried out collaboratively by the recipient, under the guidance of the Principal Investigator. This project will extend previous efforts toward making ATLSS models flexible with regard to the cell size/shape and format of hydrologic inputs in the following goals:
Goal 1. Incorporate the types of changes made in the Deer SESI into at least two other ATLSS SESI models, allowing them to be run with Landscape Classes v3 (while maintaining backward compatability with Landscape Classes v2).

Goal 2. Add appropriate functionality required by specific SESI models currently lacking in v3 Landscape Classes, including necessary links to the neighborhood region procedures implemented in Landscape v3.

Goal 3. Concurrent with SESI modifications to adapt the models to v3 Landscape Classes in Tasks 1 and 2, update and expand internal model documentation.
