Summary

Dr. Raul Ramirez and Tarig Ali gave a presentation about quality evaluation of the Great Lake Forecasting System using gauge station water levels and satellite altimetric data (Appendix A ).

Ruijin Ma gave a presentation about the new material he added to the demo for the coastal structure permitting system he will present in the DG2003 conference in Boston. Appendix B shows an interface for visualization of one of the constraints. Three more interfaces are being designed for the other three constraints

Xutong Niu gave a presentation on the new material on data integration and evaluation that he has added to the demo he will present in the DG2003 conference in Boston. Appendix C shows a screenshot for evaluating different water surfaces.

Xian Xu reported that he was working on refining the download task in his demo for the DG2003 conference in Boston (Appendix D ).

Vasilia Velissariou worked on investigating the effects of wind direction and magnitude on the water surfaces generated by the Great Lake Forecasting System (Appendix E ).
