Testing and application of a two-dimensional hydrothermal model for a water supply reservoir: implications of sedimentation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Validation of a two-dimensional hydrothermal stratification model for 14 years for Schoharie Reservoir, N.Y., an impoundment that experiences substantial drawdown, is documented. The model is demonstrated to perform well in simulating the various features of the reservoir's thermal stratification regime in each of the years, including the timing and duration of stratification, the dimensions and temperature of the layers, and the periods of internal wave oscillations in stratified layers. The average root mean square error for temperature predictions for the 14 years is 1.30 ºC. The validated model is applied in a probabilistic manner to investigate the impacts of sedimentation on the temperature of the withdrawn water (T w ) that enters a stream with a salmonid fishery, and features of the stratification regime. The predicted effects of sedimentation include a shift toward higher T w values, a shortening of the duration of stratification, and decrease in the depth of the epilimnion in fall. The effects on T w are exacerbated for the reservoir because of localized sedimentation adjoining the intake that increasingly limits access to cooler layers.Key words: hydrothermal model, temperature, model, reservoir, water supply, model projections, sedimentation.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
