Title | Near-real-time simulation and internet-based delivery of forecast-flood inundation maps using two-dimensional hydraulic modeling: a pilot study of the Snoqualmie River, Washington |
Creator | Jones, J.L.; Fulford, J.M.; Voss, F.D. |
Subject | Computer simulation; Floods; Hydraulics; Maps; Methodology; |
Coverage | Columbia River; Washington; |
Description | A system of numerical hydraulic modeling, geographic information system processing, and Internet map serving, supported by new data sources and application automation, was developed that generates inundation maps for forecast floods in near real time and makes them available through the Internet. Forecasts for flooding are generated by the National Weather Service (NWS) River Forecast Center (RFC); these forecasts are retrieved automatically by the system and prepared for input to a hydraulic... |
