Abstract

The study of river systems is challenged by the complexity and volume of data required to understand and predict river morphology changes. The River Morphology Information System (RIMORPHIS) addresses these challenges with an open-access web-based cyberinfrastructure for advanced river morphology research. Built on the National Hydrography Dataset Plus High Resolution, RIMORPHIS integrates publicly available bathymetry data and third-party resources into a cohesive database architecture for real-time use and analysis. The platform, structured around a PostgreSQL database with PostGIS extension, offers tools for geospatial visualization using Deck.GL, data analytics with Python-based geospatial processing, and eHydro Cross Section Surveys integration via API. By providing on-demand access to relevant datasets and tools for data analytics and geospatial visualization, RIMORPHIS enhances data accessibility and interoperability, supporting informed decision-making in river basin management. This paper presents the development and functionalities of RIMORPHIS and its contributions to hydrological information systems as a self-sustained community platform.

河流形态信息系统：推进河流形态研究的网络基础设施

要了解和预测河流形态的变化，需要复杂而大量的数据，这给河流系统研究带来了挑战。河流形态信息系统（RIMORPHIS）为应对这些挑战，为先进的河流形态研究提供了一个开放式的网络基础设施。RIMORPHIS 以国家水文数据集加高分辨率为基础，将公开可用的测深数据和第三方资源整合到一个具有凝聚力的数据库架构中，供实时使用和分析。该平台以带有 PostGIS 扩展的 PostgreSQL 数据库为基础，提供使用 Deck.GL 的地理空间可视化工具、基于 Python 的地理空间处理数据分析工具以及通过 API 集成的 eHydro 断面测量工具。通过为数据分析和地理空间可视化提供按需访问相关数据集和工具，RIMORPHIS 提高了数据的可访问性和互操作性，为流域管理的知情决策提供了支持。本文介绍了 RIMORPHIS 的开发和功能，以及它作为一个自我维持的社区平台对水文信息系统的贡献。

期刊介绍： Environmental Modelling & Software publishes contributions, in the form of research articles, reviews and short communications, on recent advances in environmental modelling and/or software. The aim is to improve our capacity to represent, understand, predict or manage the behaviour of environmental systems at all practical scales, and to communicate those improvements to a wide scientific and professional audience.
