Abstract
In this paper, we present a system for real-time forecasting of lake circulation at Trout Lake Station in Upper Wisconsin. Our system uses near-real-time meteorological data to drive a lake circulation model. Near-real-time ADCP data will be used to validate the model. As one part of a cyberinfrastructure lake project, this paper presents the broad system design crossing different related organizations: Device management and data acquisition from Trout Lake Station, data storage in the Center for Limnology, circulation modeling in Environmental Fluid Mechanics Laboratory, and the system portal in Grid Computing Research Laboratory of SUNY Binghamton. We also present the concept and implementation of hindcasting and nowcasting. The application of this system shows that this work is an effective collaboration across many different fields.
