Assessing uncertainities in WEPP's soil erosion predictions on rangelands

An assessment of uncertainities in predictions was performed for the WEPP model by identifying the contribution of parameter variance and model bias on the Mean Square Error of three model response variables. A Monte Carlo simulation scheme with correlated variable generation was assembled into WEPP...

Summary:An assessment of uncertainities in predictions was performed for the WEPP model by identifying the contribution of parameter variance and model bias on the Mean Square Error of three model response variables. A Monte Carlo simulation scheme with correlated variable generation was assembled into WEPP to produce a large number of model responses to be compared to observed data of a semi-arid rangeland watershed.
