  10. Challenge • Develop a water level forecasting model that captures the non linear relationship between wind forcing and future water level changes • Take advantage of the large amount of real-time data available through TCOON • Artificial Neural Network Model?

  11. ANN Features for Water Level Forecasts • Non linear modeling capability • Generic modeling capability • Robustness to noisy data • Ability for dynamic learning • Requires availability of high density of data

  13. ANNs Characterisitics • ANN models developed within the Matlab (R13) and Matlab NN Toolbox environment • Simple ANNs are optimum • Use of ‘tansig’ and ‘purelin’ functions • Levenberg-Marquardt training algorithm • ANN Trained over 1 year of hourly data (8750 forecasts)

  17. Model Assessment • Based on five 1-year data sets: ‘97, ‘98, ’99, ’00, ‘01 including observed water levels and winds, and tide forecasts • Train the NN model using one data set e.g. ‘97 for each forecast target, e.g. 12 hours • Apply the NN model to the other four data sets, • Repeat the performance analysis for each training year and forecast target and compute the model performance and variability

  26. Conclusions • ANN models improve considerably on the tides for regular conditions and frontal passages • Once trained computationally very efficient • Allow great modeling flexibility • Accuracy and location of the Wind forecasts will determine model performance beyond 15 hours • Promising for short term, up to 12 hours, water level forecasts during storms
