Given uncertain T and P, what’s the likelihood of the Waipaoa producing hyperpycnal plumes?

An experiment

  • 1000-yr Hydrotrend runs with defaults, except for T and P, which are

uniformly distributed about ±10% from default values, and L = 3.0

  • 100 samples from T-P parameter space are selected using LHS
  • Count of daily output Cs > 40 kg m-3 is the response statistic
  • Use moments, correlations, PDF, and CDF to assess RI

RI = 8.4 ± 0.4 yr

Summary

  • Uncertainty quantification is vital for communicating model predictions to

policymakers and to the public

  • Dakota is powerful, but it requires user code to interface with a model
  • Dakotathon presents an easier-to-use Python interface

Future work

  • Expose more Dakota analysis techniques
  • Incorporate Dakotathon into the CSDMS Web Modeling Tool, WMT
  • Perform a sensitivity study on Hydrotrend’s L
