Motivation for 1996-2001 DSM2 Calibration PWT
• Managers were frustrated with modelers
• Availability of new Delta flow data
• Availability of new Delta bathymetry data
• Recognition of the need for consensus among Bay-Delta modelers that DSM2 is accurate enough for the questions we ask of it.

RMS error = [ (model(n) – field(n))**2]**1/2 (n**1/2)
Root mean square error of model datacompared to field data. Point by pointcalculation over entire period of record.
Amplitude error = [ (model(max) – field(max))] 2
Amplitude error of model data ascompared to maximum field stage.Average difference in feet over one tidecycle.
Phase error = [ (T(model) – T(field))] 2
Error in timing of peak model stage ascompared to peak field stage. Averagedifference in minutes over one tidecycle.
