Oxidation formula (Subsidence Overlay)
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.
