Measures of Model Performance Based on Last DSM2 Calibration Effort
Objectives • Stage • Flow • Water Quality (EC)
Stage • Instantaneous • Usually checked for a few short (A few weeks) but distinctly different flow periods • Check for Phase & Amplitude • Be aware of Datum issues!
Flow • Instantaneous Check for amplitude, phase and magnitude Large errors may imply lack of accuracy in geometry (Usually checked for a few short distinct periods) • Tidal average Can be checked for a longer period Accuracy maybe an issue when net flows are small compared to tidal flows
Water Quality (EC) • Primary focus on tidal day averages only • Dry periods provide the most interesting analysis (ocean salinity intrusion) • Errors in “net Delta outflow” estimates may lead to significant errors in EC estimates
