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

SO=aydgw,y,cbdct,cc

where

SO is the subsidence due to oxidation.
dgw,y,c is the calculated ground water depth for year y in cell c.
ay is the calculated a parameter value for the current year y.
dct,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.
