5Project outline:
6
7The case study is based on a validation conducted against a wavetank experiment emulating the 1993 Okushiri Island tsunami.
8
9
101)Investigate independent, identically distributed errors in bathymetry. Decide a standard deviation of the bathymetry errors.
11
12 
13(2)Establish that the Monte-Carlo estimates have converged
14
15    Brute force validation where we run say 1000 simulations and then
16    2000, and evaluate whether the mean solution at the 3 monitoring
17    stations has significantly changed.

20
21(3)Measures of performance at the three channels where measurements
22are available
23
24    (a) 1 standard deviation from the mean (time averaged)
25
26    (b) Windowed RMS error measure
27
28    (c) Raw RMS error
29
30    (d)Visual inspection
31
32 
33Milestone: Evaluate the effects of the stochasticity of bathymetry on
34           the computed solution using the measures of performance
35           listed here to decide on continuance of this line of work.

39Second mini-project (Pending success of earlier project):
40
41Introduce spatially correlated errors in bathymetry and perform
42Monte-Carlo simulations with sparse, locally correlated deviates.
43
44
45Research Questions:
46 
47* Which resolution is necessary?
48* What is the effect of noise in the friction terms?
49* Effect of Boundary conditions, source terms and initial condition.
50* Can the whole process be done stochastically -
51      perhaps a hybrid where CFD kick starts a stochastic
52      predictive process (like ITO)
