Hindcast Results

The Shale Hills Introduction The future of river forecasting system will utilize monitoring station networks with continuous real-time measurement of hydrologic, atmospheric, and pedologic variables across diverse terrestrial water cycle. Physical model simulation is the best method to integrate abundant observation data and predict hydrologic variables directly. In recant years, physical-based distributed hydrologic models have evolved to be an up-and-coming trend of hydrology. Initial conditions have been proved crucial to hydrological models in many studies. Initial unsaturated storage and saturated storage are important in numerical modeling of rainfall and runoff response at the event scale (Goodrich, 1994). The uncertainty in initial soil-water content estimates for event-based simulation is shown to be a major limitation for physics-based models (Loague, 2005). The research provides a framework to implement a physical-based integrated hydrologic model (Penn State Integrated Hydrologic Model) for real-time hydrologic forecasting, and targets a feedback strategies gaining model improvement from forecasting results.

Penn State Integrated Hydrologic Model (PIHM) PIHM(Penn State Integrated Hydrologic Model) represents a strategy for the formulation and solution of fully-coupled process equations at the watershed and river basin scales, and includes a tightly coupled GIS tool for data handling, domain decomposition, optimal unstructured grid generation, and model parameterization. PIHM has been successfully applied at different scales of watersheds. http://www.pihm.psu.edu/

Forcing data and initial conditions are major input of hydrologic model. A real-t ime hydrologic monitor ing network has been developed to support data observation. The Real-t i m e F o r e c a s t F r a m e w o r k w i l l incorporate data monitor system with hydrologic modeling system. There are two modeling systems (one for forecast , one for real - t ime simulation) running independently. Both the systems keep checking if the forcing data is updated. Once forcing data is updated, the corresponding system will restart from the last stop of real-time simulation with the state variable of real-time simulation as initial condition, and move forward until the end of the updated forcing data.
