...
A10. A1-A9 documented and checked by reviewer(s)
Model Setup
B1. Grid sufficiency
- Boundary locations tested for effect on area of interest and test conditions
- Resolution tested by grid refinement test
- Bathymetry and features visually checked for accuracy
...
B4. B1-B3 documented and checked by separate reviewer(s)
Model Validation
C1. Adjustable parameters set within reasonable ranges of known uncertainty
...
C3. C1-C2 documented with client concurrence and checked by reviewers(s)
Model Tests
D1. Test conditions consistent with A1-A3
...
D4. D1-D3 documented with client concurrence and checked by reviewer(s)
