Title: Groundwater Modeling System Linkage with the Framework for Risk Analysis in Multimedia Environmental Systems

Abstract

The information in this document summarizes the approach that is used to link FRAMES-2 with GMS. This linkage will provide the user with the ability to (1) send information to a specific model in GMS, thereby modifying the models input information, as allowed by the model developer, (2) run the executable of the numerical model contained in GMS, and (3) extract, from the appropriate GMS output, information required for consumption by downstream models, which are also linked with FRAMES-2.

    This document describes concepts associated with transferring temporal and spatial boundary conditions between modules in FRAMES and how FRAMES might consider dynamic feedback.

    The study of the release and effects of chemicals in the environment and their associated risks to humans is central to public and private decision making. FRAMES 1.X, Framework for Risk Analysis in Multimedia Environmental Systems, is a systems modeling software platform, developed by PNNL, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, that helps scientists study the release and effects of chemicals on a source to outcome basis, create environmental models for similar risk assessment and management problems. The unique aspect of FRAMES is to dynamically introduce software modules representing individual components of a risk assessment (e.g., source release of contaminants, fate andmore » transport in various environmental media, exposure, etc.) within a software framework, manipulate their attributes and run simulations to obtain results. This paper outlines the fundamental constituents of FRAMES 2.X, an enhanced version of FRAMES 1.X, that greatly improve the ability of the module developers to “plug” their self-developed software modules into the system. The basic design, the underlying principles and a discussion of the guidelines for module developers are presented.« less

  • The Energy Information Administration (EIA) developed the Intermediate Future Forecasting System (IFFS) and the Gas Analysis Modeling System (GAMS) as independent projects during the 1981 to 1983 time period. Both modeling systems were designed to be partial equilibrium representations of the energy markets, with, however, quite striking differences in scopes and methodologies. Despite the differences between the two systems, their results overlap in an extremely sensitive and visible area - the pricing, supply, and consumption of natural gas. In an effort to produce consistent forecasts, the two models were linked forming one modeling system referred to as IFFS/GAMS. This reportmore » describes the process by which IFFS and GAMS were integrated to produce a single energy forecast for the Annual Energy Outlook, 1983 (AEO). A general description of both models is presented with an emphasis on the areas where the models interact with one another. Finally, a more specific description of the interactions between the models is provided. 21 references, 7 figures.« less

    This report describes the integration of the Intermediate Future Forecasting System (IFFS) and the Gas Analysis Modeling System (GAMS), two modeling systems designed to be partial equilibrium representations of the energy markets. A general description of both models is included with an emphasis on the areas where the models interact. The remainder of the report focuses on the solutions to the major problems encountered in integrating the two models. 21 refs.
