  1. Some Previous Work OnModel Sensitivity Analysis and Uncertainty Analysis at SFWMDsuccesses, challenges and disappointments Wasantha Lal

  2. Initial Purpose of Sensitivity/Uncertainty Analysis • To make sure that model outputs (eg. NSM and SFWMM) are used appropriately when making important decisions • To understand which parameters are most critical for the model output • To understand implications of model resolution (eg. 2x2)

  3. What causes uncertainty of model output forecasting uncertainty Operational uncertainty

  4. In addition to output uncertainty, what else may affect decision making

  5. How uncertainty analysis can be used in decisionmaking

  6. Examples of decision making under uncertainty(from other disciplines) • Steel/concrete design codes using factors of safety – ACI, API • Standards for water/air quality - EPA • Flood risk assessment - FEMA

  7. Model Unc. Work done at SFWMD • Uncertainty workshop, Louks and Stedinger, 1994 • First order method • (Monte Carlo) Latin Hypercube sampling method Report suggesting first order and LHS methods
