Lake Washington Real-Time Portal Released

DSI recently developed a real-time model for Lake Washington, along with a public-access model portal. The portal allows users to view historical and current data on measured and simulated water levels, temperature, and velocity, presented in map view, time series, and vertical profiles. Users can also compare the data with the model and generate statistical measures…

Online EEMS Training – Now Available

Due to our in-person training being postponted this year, DSI has developed a free and comprehensive online training program.  This training is divided into different courses, numbered 100, 200, 300, with each level based on a user’s familiarity with EEMS. EEMS100 is now available and will introduce you to the basics of EFDC_Explorer software and help you…
