Data Model Workbenches for Earth Science Information Systems

Watershed models have traditionally been used for watershed management planning and research purposes, though as we bring sub-field-scale process initialization into them, and make them initializable globally with data brokering systems, we are covering the gamut of all of the Federal and International Data Centers, as well as locally stored data that are utilized during the initialization process. The wide variety of data required by these models opens up another use for these models; as Data Model Workbenches for Computer & Information Science & Engineering, Advanced Cyberinfrastructure, Computing and Communication Foundations, and Information & Intelligent Systems data sources.
