The Root Mean Square Difference (RMSD) between observed and modeled data is calculated by summing the square of the difference between the two, then taking the square root of the total and dividing it by the number of records.
Both ADM and RMSD provide a measure of variance between observed and simulated stages. Performance of the calibrated Atchafalaya model was evaluated using both methods (Table 4.2). RMS error for the stations in the delta varied from 0.05 to 0.06 meter, while the ADM value was 0.04 at all stations. These numbers are within 10% of the tide range (approximately 0.6 m). RMS error at the upstream River station was 0.12 meter or within 20% of the tide range.
