On our conference call on December 3rd we discussed using the blog to hammer out the model interconnect problem inherent in our project. Put simply each modeling step has output that is used by the next set of researchers on the team. These linkages are the key contact points on our project so we need to understand them.
A proposed schedule is below. We should also use the blog capability of using comments to have a conversation about each topic as we go along.
1) Francina Dominguez Climate downscaling product to tRIBS and groundwater modelling
2) Plane population projections to groundwater and tRIBS modelling
3) Vivoni tRIBS water budget and runoff modelling to groundwater and geomorphic modelling.
4) Meixner groundwater modelling and streamflow conditions modelling to biological riparian modelling.
5) Duan geomorphic modelling to rbiological riparian modelling
6) Riparian modelling to economic valuation.
Things we need to hit on in our discussion of models should focus on outputs and inputs that we produce and need. Also focus on temporal and spatial resolutions. Some models are going to have very fine resolutions whereas the population, biological and economic modelling are going to operate at coarser scales.
