Dr. Dong-Jun (DJ) Seo, Associate Professor at the Department of Civil Engineering at UT Arlington, was an invited speaker at the International Workshop on Data Assimilation for Operational Hydrologic Forecasting and Water Resources Management (http://www.floodcontrol2015.com/daworkshop2010) held at Deltares (formerly Delft Hydraulics), Delft, the Netherlands, on Nov 1-3, 2010. Dr. Seo lead-authored and delivered a keynote presentation entitled “Bridging the gap in operational hydrologic data assimilation - Challenges and a way forward”. The purpose of the talk was to share experiences with hydrologic data assimilation (DA) in the U.S. National Weather Service, identify scientific and engineering challenges for widespread acceptance and use of hydrologic DA, and offer a strategy for the research and operational communities to move faster forward by capitalizing on new developments such as the Community Hydrologic Prediction System (CHPS), and the increasing overlap and synergism between catchment-scale hydrologic modeling and regional/continental-scale land surface modeling. |
