An analysis tool allows graphical and statistical comparison of travel time and survival probabilities for any number of alternative runs river locations. A report generation tool makes tables of model inputs and outputs for inclusion in documents. Graphical model output can be printed or captured with a standard graphics program for inclusion in a document. Help gives context-sensitive help on model use and the underlying model theory. Calibration CRiSP.1 is calibrated against independent data sets.
Calibration is a major effort in simulation modeling.
Since CRiSP.1 describes mechanisms of fish survival and migration it can be calibrated from a variety of independent data. Currently calibration efforts have focused on spring and fall chinook and steelhead. Fish travel time depends on flow and fish behavior. Period averaged hydro-model flows are modulated into daily flows. The modulators use a fixed weekly variation and a daily stochastic variation.
