MODEL CALIBRATION REPORT FOR THE HOUSATONIC RIVER
Impact/Purpose:
The Model Calibration Report will summarize the activities conducted to calibrate the models used for evaluating PCB fate and transport in the Housatonic River and its floodplain.
Description:
The Model Calibration Report will present a comparison of the model calibration runs to existing data for the calibration period, over a two year time frame. In addition, the model predictions for the calibration period will be compared to other supporting analyses, such as alternative modeling approaches and aerial photography. Parameters adjusted to achieve calibration will be discussed, including the model sensitivity to the parameters as well as supporting data for the parameters. The comparisons will be made to determine if the model capability is sufficiently accurate to proceed to model validation activities.
