The executive summary of the document is as follows:
The Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science, Inc. (CUAHSI) is continuing a major effort towards the development of a Community Hydrologic Modeling Platform (CHyMP)1
Over 30 participants attended the third workshop (see Table 1), and were invited based on their experience and expertise across a range of aspects of hydrologic modeling. Attendees from the U.S. and abroad represented universities, government labs and federal agencies. . A first, scoping workshop was held in March, 2008 [Famiglietti et al., 2008, 2009], and identified the need for a substantive, university-led community modeling activity in hydrologic science. A second workshop, Blueprint for a Community Hydrologic Modeling Platform (CHyMP) Workshop, further developed the community vision of CHyMP. This 3rd workshop, A Strategic and Implementation Plan, was held March 15 – 17, 2011 at the Beckman Center for the National Academies at the University of California at Irvine, to come to community consensus on how to move this vision forward. Sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the UC Center for Hydrologic Modeling and CUAHSI, the goal of this workshop was to identify concrete steps around several areas related to implementing a community hydrologic modeling effort.
