Challenges in Computing &Visualization of Hurricane Katrina
Center for Computation& Technology
Louisiana StateUniversity
Representing Louisiana,National Coastal,Modeling Efforts
Louisiana Coastal Area• 1927 flood, levees, loss of wetlands, growing
crisis, social impact– 25% lost wetlands in last century, futurepredictions dire; increases flooding, surge risk
• Hurricanes Pam (2004), Katrina– 1.4M FEMA aid applications, 35K > 1000 milesaway, 33K evacuations by coast guard alone (6x
2004). Years to rebuild• Important problems: ecological, hurricane,
algal bloom/salinity forecasting, restoration,evacuation, emergency response strategies
• Rich dynamic environment for modeling:coupled models, multi-scale, realtime data(sensors, satellites)
• Role of HPC, Models, Grids, Community

Part 1: Katrina ModelingWhere is it going to go?
9
• Vision 20/20– $25M annually across 5 campuses– Example: LSU’s Center for Computation &
Technology• LONI
– $40M over 10 years– Creating most advanced network in the US
• How to leverage these investments post-Katrina/Rita?– Scientific, Technological, Economic Development
Part 2: State InvestmentsProvidingInfrastructure to Give Answers
3
• Gov. Blanco leadership: Changing the the face ofLA, Southeast, Nation– High speed nets, computers change world: 1000x !
• LONI leading infrastructure in the nation– Southeast leads the way
• Connects us to leading facilities around world• Awash in data!
– Competitive for future development:• $67M Century proposal
– Unprecedented cooperation across state• Many applications not possible today
– Research and Education, Bio & Health Sciences,Astrophysics, Coastal Research, Economic Dev.

Storm SurgesADCIRC: Unstructured Grid Shallow Water Model
• Storm surges: the worst part– ~ 25 ft for Katrina, kill far more people than winds
• ADCIRC: Joannes Westerink, Rick Luettich,Randy Kolar, Clint Dawson
• Input 2D Unstructured Mesh, wind, pressure– 314K nodes, 85% near LA Coast– 50km resolution in deep ocean, 100m resolution
• 128 processor supercomputer: 1 hour toforecast 1 day
• Want: run dozens of simulations– Vary inputs, paths, strength

Part 3: DevelopingApproaches

SURA Coastal OceanObserving Program (SCOOP)
• Integrating data from regional observingsystems for realtime coastal forecasts in SE
• Coastal modelers working closely withcomputer scientists to couple models,provide data solutions, deploy ensembles ofmodels on the Grid, assemble realtimeresults with GIS technologies.
38
• $500M to restore 250 sq. miles since 1986– 12 sq. miles/year, but losing 2x this per year!
• How to catch up? $14B dollars later...– floods? diversions? pipelines of mud? many ideas!
• Complex processes: comprehensive approach neededto understand competing forces. But there is aquantitative answer! 38
Part 4: Moving to the FutureBeyond Hurricanes
10
DynaCode• Focus on scenarios:
– Hurricane ensemble modeling• Coupling ocean circulation, storm surge,
wave generation models for the Gulf• Notifications from NHC trigger
customized ensemble hurricane models(surge/wind/wave), sensors verify, guidedynamic ensembles
• Event driven, dynamic componentframework with algorithm selection,optimization tools, workflow, dataassimilation, result validation withsensor/satellite.
– Ecological restoration and control• Breton Sound diversion, control structure
to allow Mississippi to flow into wetlands• Coupled models (hydrodynamic, salinity,
geomorphic, sediment) control diversion,sensors/wind fields inject real time data.

Comprehensive 21st CenturyCoastal Modeling Initiative
• Computer Models– Complex problems require comprehensive
approaches– Interoperable software components: Storm, wind,
surge wave, transport, bio models: common tools
• Observation– Sensor, satellite, LIDAR, RADAR, GIS data– Data archives
• Leveraging State Investments: 20/20, LONI,NLR
• Coastal science/engineering leaders! Mostimportant!
