Data that can be used in calculations are called data settings. Each kind of data that can be used has a data setting identifier with a position, data classification, unit and standard deviation.
Coupling to the model
Data that can be used in calculations are called data settings. Each kind of data that can be used has a data setting identifier with a position, data classification, unit and standard deviation. This way PROTIDE knows what it can do with the data.Position
The position refers to the geographical location the data applies to. Because PROTIDE only knows given locations along the channel, each position refers to one of these channel positions.Data classification
The data classification tells PROTIDE in which order to use the data. This means that if there are several data settings available for the same position and unit for a certain time, PROTIDE chooses the one with the lowest "order in calculation".Unit
The unit indicates the type of data. It can be one of the following:- Water level
- Water speed
- Water direction
- Swell
- Wave height
