Abstract

In the United States, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration-Office of Water Prediction (NOAA-OWP) utilizes the National Water Model (NWM) for operational hydrological forecasting. Its Flood Inundation Mapping (FIM) framework translates NWM discharge to inundation extent using the Height Above the Nearest Drainage (HAND) approach. The simplicity of the OWP HAND-FIM framework enables rapid, large-scale FIM predictions across the U.S., fostering a growing user and developer community beyond NOAA. In this paper, we introduce “FIM as a Service (FIMserv)”, an open-source toolset that streamlines OWP HAND-FIM predictions with enhanced functionalities: (1) FIM generation from retrospective and forecasted NWM discharge, (2) Simultaneous simulations of multiple watersheds for various flood events, (3) FIM from Group on Earth Observations Global Water Sustainability (GeoGLOWS) discharge, (4) evaluation of NWM and GeoGLOWS discharge against USGS observations. FIMserv operates as a standalone notebook on local/cloud systems and as a Community Resource within the CIROH cloud cyberinfrastructure.

FIMserv .1.0:使用美国业务水文预报框架简化洪水淹没制图(FIM)的工具
在美国,国家海洋和大气管理局-水预测办公室(NOAA-OWP)利用国家水模型(NWM)进行业务水文预报。它的洪水淹没图(FIM)框架使用最近排水高度(HAND)方法将西北水区的流量转换为淹没程度。OWP HAND-FIM框架的简单性使整个美国能够快速、大规模地进行FIM预测,在NOAA之外培养了一个不断增长的用户和开发人员社区。在本文中,我们介绍了“FIM即服务(FIMserv)”,这是一个开源工具集,它通过增强的功能简化了OWP的手-FIM预测:(1)从回顾和预测NWM流量中生成FIM,(2)同时模拟多个流域的各种洪水事件,(3)来自地球观测组织全球水可持续性(GeoGLOWS)流量的FIM,(4)根据USGS的观测对NWM和GeoGLOWS流量进行评估。FIMserv可以作为本地/云系统上的独立笔记本运行,也可以作为CIROH云网络基础设施中的社区资源运行。

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.
