水文建模可以帮助我们了解如何更好地应对极端水文事件。由于水文模型不断演变的性质和不同群体的不同需求，将模型结果传达给不同群体一直是一个反复出现的挑战。2016年，NOAA的水预测办公室（OWP）发布了一个新的国家水模型（NWM），该模型可以在全国范围内对多个变量进行预测。NWM产生的大量数据对水数据管理提出了新的挑战。开放水域数据倡议（OWDI）于2014年启动，旨在规范和促进水资源数据的整合和共享。根据OWDI中描述的概念模型，我们创建了一个网络基础设施来存储NWM结果，并在HydroShare Tethys门户上创建了两个Web应用程序，以方便感兴趣的社区用户访问。还根据OWDI要求开发了REST API，以提供水数据作为服务。此API有助于程序化数据检索以及我们的工具与第三方项目的集成。开发的网络基础设施、Web应用程序和REST API为NWM结果提供了一个网关，可以通过满足科学家、规划人员、应急响应人员和公众的特定需求，将其有效地传达给他们。
Hydrologic modeling can help us understand how to better respond to extreme hydrologic events. Communicating model results to different groups has been a recurring challenge due to the evolving nature of hydrologic models and the distinct needs of different groups. A new National Water Model (NWM) was released in 2016 by NOAA’s Office of Water Prediction (OWP) that generates forecasts for multiple variables at a national scale. The large amounts of data produced by the NWM presents new challenges in water data management. The Open Water Data Initiative (OWDI) was started in 2014 with the goal of standardizing and facilitating water data integration and sharing. Following the conceptual model described in the OWDI, we have created a cyberinfrastructure to store NWM results, and created two web applications deployed on the HydroShare Tethys Portal to facilitate access by interested community users. A REST API was also developed in accordance with the OWDI requirements to provide water data as a service. This API facilitates programmatic data retrieval and integration of our tools with third-party projects. The developed cyberinfrastructure, web apps, and REST API provide a gateway for NWM results to be effectively communicated to scientists, planners, emergency responders, and the general public by meeting their specific needs.
