Real-time RADAR accumulated rainfall • WMS service to retrieve rainfall imagery from NOAA’s nowCoast Jason Smith
Contour Lines and GIS Shape Files • generate ESRI compatible shape files from ADCIRC output Andrew Kemp
CERA on mobile devices • design and develop a CERA mobile interface Rufei Zhou, Howard Wang
Testing Hurricane Wind Fields and Grids with ADCIRC Hurricane ISAAC (Aug 21 – Aug 30 2012) Real-Time Forecasting Results Hindcast Modeling Comparison of ISAAC hindcasts with 5 distinct sets of meteorological data Real-time results every 6 hrsin accordance to advisories as issued by NHC Collaboration between LSU, MSU, UNC • Data Factory (LSU) • Hurricane Modeling • Toolbox (MSU) • ASGS/CERA (LSU) ASGS North Carolina
Used ADCIRC grids during ISAAC Multi-state effort during active hurricane events Pat Fitzpatrick (MSU) Nate Dill, Jason Fleming (for LSU)
