Scale-selective Validation of Morphodynamic Models

Although it is generally acknowledged that the practical predictability at smaller scales may be limited, output of high-resolution morphodynamic area models is mostly presented at the resolution of the computational grid. The so- presented fields typically are realistic looking, but not necessarily of similar quality at all spatial scales....

Displacement based error metric for morphodynamic models (abstract)

The quality of a morphological prediction is often expressed by an overall grid-point based skill score based on the Mean Squared Error (MSE) between the predicted and observed bed levels (Sutherland et al., 2004). Although the MSE is a good measure of the overall error between model and observations, it tends to penalize rather than reward the...
