Title:

D: 122 - Conduct/Evaluate Baseline Mainstem CIS and Sub-Model Simulations with Historical Data

Description:

•Collaboration and data preparation and review to simulate CIS scenarios 4E (ecological) and RCC-17 (current operations) for a historical period in water temperature, fish survival, and coastal estuary models.
•Produce a draft manuscript describing CIS functions, applicability, and results for a peer-reviewed journal.

WE Agreement Type:

Contracted

Deliverable Specification:

Responsible Party: CRITFC

For 2020-2021 CRITFC plans on initiating the following tasks:

1) Continue to develop and implement CRITFC Climate Project climate change analytical framework through collaboration and partnerships with technical staff from BPA, the Corps, NWPCC, Bureau of Reclamation among others will be required.

2) Track, become familiar, and provide technical review of facets necessary for development of hydro-regulation studies in collaboration with RMJOC II agencies following their creation of new modified flows, volume forecasts, rule curves and other modeling inputs. Utilize these metrics as inputs into CIS to establish river operational scenarios that provide adaptation to ecosystem vulnerabilities expressed by climate change hydrological and temperature projections.

3) Cull/select appropriate RMJOC II climate models projections for future mainstem river operational scenarios. Use CIS river operational data outputs as inputs into water quality and fish habitat, and survival and productivity metrics.

Deliverables: Enhanced, more robust analysis of regional climate change effects on basin ecological functions and other drivers, hydrological data sets for hydroregulation and other modeling inputs such as water quality and fish habitat and productivity models, summary reports/presentations on this information for transfer and training to tribes and other interested regional groups. Also, technical contributions including technical review of RMJOC II Project draft reports and NWPCC technical reports

		Description: Create mainstem river operational scenarios with the CIS and evaluate impacts to salmon and other fish from selected climate modeling data scenarios using the most appropriate and robust methods. Seek guidance and collaboration from the recommendations from other regional entities such as the RMJOC and NWPPC. Some of this work is in progress already from the RMJOC II process. Some of this work will be accomplished by other entities and will be reviewed by CRITFC.
