12k set aside for maintanence. Available now, starting July 1.
Checking flows, keeping up with any NWS changes.
Interacting with Brian NOAA making sure flows are inserting.
Currently site is based on 10 year old technology (with some minor upgrades), but it could use some future proofing with modern technologies.
I would be interested in exploring blazor sometime. Not sure if it fits with RSMS or really any of our work.
We'll want to save all the old runs/scenarios from existing server(s).
They usually just run with default settings, not tweaking anything except the basic fields like number of stations.
Set aside $2400 for the initial cutover. Remaining $9600 on a monthly basis as support is needed, maybe $800/mo for hosting fee (hosting plus support). Or $800 hosting + x hours support.
They've talked to Jim Goodrich and he's interested in talking to his people about upgrading the model, based on ORSANCO's monitoring data. Backcasting related to that, some other advanced features.
Brian Astifan is in Wilmington, OH. Ohio River Forecast Center.
Next HECRAS modelers meeting? With Charles at USACE.
People at Ohio EPA: Amy Cly (drinking water), Tiffany Cadillac (surface water, but new role), Amy Vogel (head). Not sure about these names...
Could upgrade so model uses 1 hour data instead of 6 hour data, or we take the hourly data and generate the 6 hour from it (use ORSANCO Flows data instead of RSMS data). Use cases for both, maybe switch in the UI?
Two big spills with good data. East Pallestine and the 2017 Louisville Christmas spill.
They've received money from USACE in the past but not for anything related to this kind of work (RSMS, Flows?)
Community model will change eventually, RSMS needs upgraded, how do we bring together the resources needed.
Another update spoken with Jim Goodrich - the decay coefficient is in there, but historically they're more interested in time of travel and less in concentration. Talked about contaminant libraries as possible upgrade.
Adam Davis at NOAA (SSC Senior Science Coordinator) has completely different model (NOAA specific model), when Coast Guard is the lead. How the lead agency is determined? Commercial Vessel is coast guard. Offloading facilities up to first valve is also Coast Guard. Navigable waterways and facilities under jurisdiction of Coast Guard. Past first valve it's EPA or on non-navigable waterways.
Their model is good for oil spills. Deals with wind speed, air temperatures, losses from volatization.
