A Coupled Model of the 1D River Network and 3D Estuary Based on Hydrodynamics and Suspended Sediment Simulation

Figure 4

The calibration of the coupled model results with the measured time series at eighteen stations is shown, from December 19, 1998, to December 20, 1998 (dry season). The model skill score is used to evaluate the model performance of water levels (a), discharges (b), and suspended sediment concentration (c) quantitatively. The circles with the different colors represent the different performances of the model. With the high scores of the water levels and the discharges, the performances indicate the success of the model. The skill scores of the suspended sediment concentration are also good enough.
