A CUAHSI Scoping Workshop on a Community Hydrologic Modeling Platform in Washington, DC

这项提案要求提供资金，以支持范围扩大。举办讲习班，探讨社区水文学建模活动的需要和要求。这项活动暂时被称为社区水文建模平台(CHyMP)，它是大学促进水文科学协会(CUAHSI)下一个5年阶段的两项新的重大倡议之一。CHyMP的目标是通过社区建模活动显著提高水文模拟能力，包括开发、分发和提供通用模拟软件的技术支持。CHyMP目前的愿景是一个平台，该平台将支持几个建模包，用于正演建模、逆向建模、随机建模、图形可视化、访问数据源和其他功能。这一设想将通过最初的范围界定讲习班(此处提议)和两个后续讲习班加以修改和完善。CHyMP的一项重要成果将是建立一个可跨尺度应用的水循环综合模型框架，并解决在没有该框架的情况下无法解决的复杂的水文研究问题。第一期讲习班的目标是调查社区水文建模活动应采取的范围和形式的各种观点。其结果将是建立一个社区环境管理计划工作组，并向社区提交一份关于开展水文学社区建模的理由和初步战略的报告。在范围界定和后续研讨会之后，我们预计由国际和平研究所领导的一个研究小组将就开发和实施该平台向国家科学基金会提出正式建议。拟议的讲习班的学术价值在于阐明了社区水文建模平台的形式和要求。讲习班的更广泛影响是可能向水文和相关社区提供综合水循环建模工具，以及这些工具将促成的新研究。

This proposal requests funds in support of a ?scoping? workshop to explore the needs and requirements for a community hydrologic modeling activity in hydrology. This activity is tentatively called the Community Hydrologic Modeling Platform (CHyMP) and it is proposed as one of two new major initiatives for the next 5-year phase of the Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science, Inc. (CUAHSI). The goal of CHyMP is to significantly advance hydrologic simulation capabilities via a community modeling activity, including the development, distribution and technical support of common simulation software. The current vision for CHyMP is of a platform that would support several modeling packages for forward modeling, inverse modeling, stochastic modeling, graphical visualization, access to data sources, and other features. This vision will be modified and refined through an initial scoping workshop (proposed here) and two follow-on workshops. An important outcome of CHyMP would be a framework for integrated water cycle modeling that could be applied across scales and for solving complex hydrologic research questions that could not be addressed in its absence. The goal of the first workshop is to survey the range of perspectives on the scope and form that a community hydrologic modeling activity should take. The outcome will be the establishment of a CHyMP working group and a report to the community on the rationale and preliminary strategy for undertaking community modeling in hydrology. Following the scoping and follow-on workshops, we expect that a PI-led research team will make a formal proposal to the NSF for the development and implementation of the platform. The intellectual merit of the proposed workshop is the articulation of the form and requirements for a community hydrologic modeling platform. The broader impacts of the workshop are the potential provision of integrated water cycle modeling tools to the hydrologic and related communities, as well as the new research that these tools will enable.
