The study of river systems is challenged by the complexity and volume of data required to understand and predict river morphology changes. The River Morphology Information System (RIMORPHIS) addresses these challenges with an open-access web-based cyberinfrastructure for advanced river morphology research. Built on the National Hydrography Dataset Plus High Resolution, RIMORPHIS integrates publicly available bathymetry data and third-party resources into a cohesive database architecture for real-time use and analysis. The platform, structured around a PostgreSQL database with PostGIS extension, offers tools for geospatial visualization using Deck.GL, data analytics with Python-based geospatial processing, and eHydro Cross Section Surveys integration via API. By providing on-demand access to relevant datasets and tools for data analytics and geospatial visualization, RIMORPHIS enhances data accessibility and interoperability, supporting informed decision-making in river basin management. This paper presents the development and functionalities of RIMORPHIS and its contributions to hydrological information systems as a self-sustained community platform.

河流形态信息系统：推进河流形态研究的网络网络基础设施


河流系统的研究面临着理解和预测河流形态变化所需的数据复杂性和数量的挑战。河流形态信息系统 （RIMORPHIS） 通过用于高级河流形态研究的基于 Web 的开放访问网络基础设施来应对这些挑战。RIMORPHIS 基于 National Hydrography Dataset Plus High Resolution 构建，将公开可用的测深数据和第三方资源集成到一个有凝聚力的数据库架构中，以便实时使用和分析。该平台围绕具有 PostGIS 扩展的 PostgreSQL 数据库构建，提供使用 Deck.GL 进行地理空间可视化、使用基于 Python 的地理空间处理进行数据分析以及通过 API 进行 eHydro Cross Section Surveys 集成的工具。通过提供对相关数据集和工具的按需访问，用于数据分析和地理空间可视化，RIMORPHIS 增强了数据的可访问性和互操作性，从而支持在流域管理中做出明智的决策。本文介绍了 RIMORPHIS 的发展和功能及其对作为自我维持社区平台的水文信息系统的贡献。
