  1. A Synthesis of Community Data and Modeling for Advancing River Basin Science: The Evolving Susquehanna River Basin Experiment Proposed Project Schedule: 12/1/06-11/30/08 PI’s: Chris Duffy, Patrick Reed, and Kevin Dressler The Pennsylvania State University Slide 1

  2. Project Goal (1): Characterizing the Active Zone • “ACTIVE ZONE” Hypothesis: • Local watershed control volume • 3 partitions • 1) Land surf to atm • 2) Transition zone (near surface processes in canopy, root zone, etc). • 3) Regolith from land surface to subsurface boundary layer (SBL) • SBL analogous to atm • Effective depth (major unknown) • Feels surface water/energy fluxes • Operates at relevant time-scales

  3. Project Goal (2): Unification of Modeling, Digital Data, and Experimentation • Observatory Network Design Needs: • Must confront the tradeoffs between economic constraints, performance objectives, and scientific knowledge gaps • Gap analysis requires the unification of • Multi-scale predictive modeling • Digital data resources • Innovative data collection strategies • We are seeking to unify several existing efforts • PIHM • SRB Geodatabase • Real-Time Hydrologic Monitoring Network (RTH_Net)

  4. Major Research Components • Penn State Integrated Hydrologic Model • Finite volume, irregular mesh simulation • Fully coupled process formulation • Developed for platform independence and open source • SRB Geodatabase • Finalized ESRI Geodatabase for entire basin • Soils, DEM, land cover, vegetation, etc. • Will provide FTP access in the near term • Real-Time Hydrologic Monitoring Network (RTH_Net) • Exploring real-time “Active Zone” experimentation • Developing real-time multi-state water cycle observations
