National Water Model FIM Workshop

Expanding the Impact of the NWM FIM Capability

Day 3 Session 2 (1:30 PM MDT)

Presenters:

BYU Team

Learn how to extract and document Flood Inundation Maps from HEC RAS-2D, SRH-2D, and other models in general to a common data structure and visualization tools.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Understand our proposed data model for storing FIM results from any numerical modeling result
  • Learn how to use the community version of the Surface Water Modeling System (SMS) to extract data from numerical models such as HEC RAS-2D and SRH-2D.
  • Learn the process of preparing 2D modeling data so that FIM extraction tools being developed can be used to extract results.
  • See how results from the data model can be visualized and connected to the NWM forecast

Prerequisites:

  • Laptop computer connected to the internet (could share with a partner)
  • Installation of SMS Community Version
  • Necessary sample data will be available
