The uncertainty associated with discharge measurement in storm sewer systems is of fundamental importance for hydrologic/hydraulic model calibration and pollutant load estimation, although it is difficult to determine as field benchmarks are generally impractical.
Here we describe the STABLE model in more detail than we have previously and we verify it by reproducing a 2D mean-field benchmark.
However, because of the high/risk reward characteristics of nearly all principal types of fields (legacy field, new field, green fields), benchmarking of streamlines with closed-form solutions may provide fast and useful support to such efforts.
One can take an extreme position, as Ms. Stevens does, that accurate political predictions are "the field's benchmark for what counts as science".
It's an open secret in my discipline: in terms of accurate political predictions (the field's benchmark for what counts as science), my colleagues have failed spectacularly and wasted colossal amounts of time and money.
But it is possible to use the results achieved by charities in the same field as a benchmark.
The predictions from WAsP for wind flows over simple isolated hills compare well with the measured data from the two benchmark field measurements [16].
The validity of this algorithm for spatial field reconstruction was benchmarked by theoretical considerations as well as comparison of the calculated with alternatively measured data.
Various approaches were used (post-cards reminders, feedback of response rates to field managers with benchmarks of other hospitals, extra visit of the research team to the nursing unit to re-enforce the teams) to maximize response rates.
Uniform field measurements serve as the benchmark for electrodynamic CCS value determination, as the CCS obtained from a uniform field drift tube can be determined empirically through kinetic theory.
This space and time resolution is lower compared to the benchmark magnetospheric field model used to generate the synthetic data.
