Abstract

We report on two ongoing efforts to build Dynamic Data Driven Application Systems (DDDAS) for (1) short-range forecasting of weather and wildfire behavior from real time weather data, images, and sensor streams, and (2) contaminant identification and tracking in water bodies. Both systems change their forecasts as new data is received. We use one long term running simulation that self corrects using out of order, imperfect sensor data. The DDDAS versions replace codes that were previously run using data only in initial conditions. DDDAS entails the ability to dynamically incorporate additional data into an executing application, and in reverse, the ability of an application to dynamically steer the measurement process.
