Using Optimization For Environmental Simulation Model Calibration Uncertainty Analysis, B. A. Tolson, C. A. Shoemaker
Using Optimization For Environmental Simulation Model Calibration Uncertainty Analysis, B. A. Tolson, C. A. Shoemaker
International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software
Environmental simulation models areapproximations of reality, and are therefore allsubject to varying degrees of uncertainty. Ingeneral, uncertainty sources in environmentalmodeling include parameter, data and modelstructure. When the uncertainty of these modelinputs are quantified in terms of probabilitydistributions, a traditional Monte Carlopropagation of input uncertainty can be performed.However, this traditional approach becomes muchmore complicated when model calibration data isconsidered because the random input sets sampledfrom the joint parameter and input distributionsmust also be deemed to produce reasonablepredictions of the available measured calibrationdata. Two types of methods that were developedto cope with this complication are the GeneralizedLikelihood Uncertainty Estimation or GLUEmethodology (Beven …
Sensitivity Analysis For Environmental Models And Monitoring Networks, Alessandro Fassò
Sensitivity Analysis For Environmental Models And Monitoring Networks, Alessandro Fassò
International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software
Statistical sensitivity analysis is shown to be a useful technique for assessing both multivariate environmental computer models and environmental statistical spatio-temporal models in the perspective of risk assessment. Methods are reviewed and extended to cover with two applications which are reported as case studies. The first, related to waste water bio litters for heavy metals, is aimed at assessing the input in influence on both environmental and economical variables. The second, related to spatio-temporal models for air quality monitoring networks, is intended to study the in influence of each station to the model performance.
Evaluation Of A Physically Based Distributed Hydrological Model, Btopmc, For Different Physiographic Zones Of Nepal, K. N. Dulal, S. Shrestha, K. Takeuchi, H. Ishidaira
Evaluation Of A Physically Based Distributed Hydrological Model, Btopmc, For Different Physiographic Zones Of Nepal, K. N. Dulal, S. Shrestha, K. Takeuchi, H. Ishidaira
International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software
Many rivers in Nepal are ungauged and there is an urgent need to develop a model for those ungauged basins in order to properly use the vast natural resources of Nepal. The aim of this study is to evaluate the performance of the distributed hydrological model, BTOPMC (Block-wise use of TOPMODEL with Muskingum-Cunge method) for different physiographic zones of Nepal and then to develop a regional model, which can be used for prediction in ungauged basins. It is advantageous to use BTOPMC for poorly gauged or ungauged basins as it utilizes various global datasets available in public domain. In this …
