Virtual Columbia River
News
|
The Virtual Columbia River is a skill-assessed 4D (space-time) simulation environment that offers multiple representations of circulation processes, variability and change across river-to-shelf scales. Circulation includes water levels, salinity, temperature, and velocities.
Current Features Daily forecasts – Predictions directed at near real-time scientific planning and interpretation. New! Decade-scale retrospective simulation databases - Simulations directed at understanding variability and change in the contemporary system. Climatological Atlas – Offers insights into multiple scales of variability of the contemporary system, via statistics of multiple indicators. Upcoming Features Process simulations – Simulations addressing hypothesis-driven science questions, typically centered on events and gradient regions Scenario simulations – Simulations directed at understanding anthropogenic and climate impacts. Open benchmark – An environment to test, inter-compare and improve models and modeling strategies.
