Zusammenfassung |
Environment Canada has been developing a community environmental modelling
system (Modélisation Environmentale Communautaire – MEC), which is designed
to facilitate coupling between models focusing on different components of the
earth system. The ultimate objective of MEC is to use the coupled models to
produce operational forecasts. MESH (MEC – Surface and Hydrology), a
configuration of MEC currently under development, is specialized for coupled
land-surface and hydrological models. To determine the specific requirements
for MESH, its different components were implemented on the Laurentian Great
Lakes watershed, situated on the Canada-US border. This experiment showed
that MESH can help us better understand the behaviour of different
land-surface models, test different schemes for producing ensemble streamflow
forecasts, and provide a means of sharing the data, the models and the
results with collaborators and end-users. This modelling framework is at the
heart of a testbed proposal for the Hydrologic Ensemble Prediction Experiment
(HEPEX) which should allow us to make use of the North American Ensemble
Forecasting System (NAEFS) to improve streamflow forecasts of the Great Lakes
tributaries, and demonstrate how MESH can contribute to a Community
Hydrologic Prediction System (CHPS). |
