Great Lakes Forecasting System Laboratory: Vasilia Velissariou

Summary:

Before this meeting, Xutong met with Dr. Bedford on Tuesday afternoon (4/13/2004) and discussed some issues related to bathymetry GRID generation for Tampa Bay water surface modelling. Alok and Vasilia also took part in the discussion. Xutong will help Alok to generate a bathymetry GRID (300 m cell size) for Tampa Bay. Vasilia also reported that she is learning the data format conversion for MAROBS data, but it will take her some time to finish conversion. She said she would try to finish the 20-year water surface modeling by the end of May.

In this meeting, Xutong reported that he is working on two papers for the ASPRS conference. He also worked with Xian Xu on improving the ODNR permitting webpage by adding some new information into the database.

Chung-yen finished the gauge data comparison (inside and outside of the Bay) for the Tampa Bay comparison.

Alok worked on the Tampa Bay bathymetry GRID and is about to finish georeferencing the Painesville aerial photos.

Xian worked with Xutong on the improvement of the ODNR permitting system. He is also working on the web services-based system and the 3D visualization system
