Hydrological Analysis and Modeling

The hydrology of the Seward Peninsula will be simulated using a spatially distributed hydrological model developed in our laboratory (Hinzman et al.,1995). This model has been broadly applied and validated (Zhang et al.,1999). This model has been recently upgraded to utilize IDL code and incorporate the channel drainage network calculations from RiverTools (Peckham et al., 2002). This model is very data intensive; fortunately, the Seward Peninsula is unusually data rich compared to most parts of Alaska. All available hydrometric data for this region will be compiled and archived. Acceptable techniques of data synthesis will be applied to fill in gaps based upon multivariate analyses. Our hydrologic model will be applied across the entire Seward Peninsula in a predictive mode. It can only be rigorously tested and validated at the few places where stream andriver discharge has been measured.
