2b. Initiate Contracting Start the contracting process for remaining data needs now – 2c. Executing the Contract Collecting Lidar field data in the spring of 2018 before leaf-up. Process Lidar and Bathymetry Data to produce capacity curves (part of contract) Spring, 2018 – Final products received from contractor (end of June, 2018) 2d. Receipt and Review of the Data Depends on when the modellers need the data. Expected by end of July, 2018. Est. Cost: Estimates are developed. Resources: POS Board Predecessor: n/a Successor: HH6 Review: USGS and/or the USACE to review contractor’s work. Task DW3: Review and Update of Hydrometeorological Data Network Improvement Report Point of Contact: Jeff Woodward, ECCC This task involves reviewing work that was completed since 2013 to evaluate the atmospheric and streamflow monitoring networks for water supply and flood forecasting. Potential sub-tasks include: Review the existing report Summarize existing datasets (WIN, CaPA, streamflow) that are not included in the report. If the report doesn’t do so already, identify gaps in the observational network that would help with water supply forecasting and flood forecasting. Sub-tasks: Review of hydrometeorological network report Timeline: Jan Mar, 2018 – Est. Cost: Estimates are being developed. Resources: ECCC Predecessor: n/a Successor: n/a Review: Internal review by ISRSB. Notes: This could fit-in with real-time WIN precipitation data and the Canadian Precipitation Analysis (CaPA) in Canada, and their equivalents in the U.S.
