https://my.usgs.gov/confluence/display/cdi/Interagency+Collaborative+for+Environmental+Mo deling+and+Monitoring Background information pertaining to the Meeting Theme as provided by the NRC staff:
Monitoring and Model Data Fusion is the concept of coupling information sources, both temporal and spatial data, from a wide variety of monitoring programs and their instrumentation, to the model which quantitatively analyses and simulates the system of concern.
Fusion involves the active processing and synthesis of various data sources into a unified model database, and where the model informs the monitoring programs as to what, when, where and how the data is to be obtained and translated into modeling assumptions and inputs such as boundary conditions and parameters.
Performance Indicators will be defined common to both the model and the monitoring.
