Jump to navigation Jump to search

The amount of subsidence due to oxidation is calculated by the following formula:

$ S_{O}=a_{y}\cdot d_{gw,y,c}-b\cdot d_{ct,c}-c $

where

$ S_{O} $ is the subsidence due to oxidation.
$ d_{gw,y,c} $ is the calculated ground water depth for year y in cell c.
$ a_{y} $ is the calculated a parameter value for the current year $ y $.
$ d_{ct,c} $ is the clay thickness of the terrain in cell c, defined by CLAY_THICKNESS
$ b $ is the b parameter value, defined by the model attribute B
$ c $ is the c parameter value, defined by the model attribute C

This formula was provided by experts, who have derived this formula empirically.
