Title

Baseline Zuidwestelijke Delta: Final calibration of model waqua-schelde_nevlaj07_5

Abstract

The calibration of the WAQUA-Schelde_NEVLA model is done in three steps. Deltares first set up the model based on the NEVLA grid provided by FHR, and did the first step in the automatic calibration by varying the bottom roughness in the Western Scheldt. The subsequent automatic calibration for the Flemish territory was carried out at FHR as the 2nd step, while keeping the roughness field from the first step constant (Chu et al., 2019 & 2020). This report describes the final automatic calibration (3rd step) for the entire model domain starting from the calibrated roughness field from the 2nd step (Chu et al, 2020). It was found that this automatic 3rd step does not further modify the bottom friction or further improve the water level predictions compared to the end result of the 2nd step. This means that in the future, automatic calibration could be safely performed in 2 steps.
