| 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: 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 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. |
