  5. ERROR BUDGET CONSIDERATIONS FOR WATER LEVELS • THE WATER LEVEL REDUCER CAN BE THE MOST SIGNIFICANT CORRECTOR TO THE SOUNDINGS • THE COMPONENT OF THE TOTAL ERROR BUDGET DUE TO APPLICATION OF THE WATER LEVEL REDUCERS CAN ALSO BE QUITE SIGNIFICANT • THE ALLOWABLE CONTRIBUTION OF THE ERROR FOR TIDES AND WATER LEVELS TO THE TOTAL SURVEY ERROR BUDGET FALLS BETWEEN 0.20 METERS AND 0.45 METER (95% CONFIDENCE LEVEL) DEPENDING UPON COMPLEXITY OF THE TIDAL REGIME AND THE SURVEY AREA. • THE ERROR BUDGET NEEDS TO BE ESTIMATED IN ADVANCE IN THE PLANNING STAGES SO THAT THE POTENTIAL ERROR IN WATER LEVELS CAN BE APPROPRIATELY BALANCED AGAINST ALL OTHER SURVEY ERRORS IN THE PROJECT DESIGN

  6. ERROR BUDGET CONSIDERATIONS FOR WATER LEVELS • THE MEASUREMENT/PROCESSING ERROR IN COLLECTION OF GAUGE/SENSOR DATA AND THE PROCESSING OF THE DATA. • THE ERROR IN COMPUTATION OF TIDAL DATUMS FOR THE ADJUSTMENT TO A 19-YEAR NATIONAL TIDAL DATUM EPOCH (NDTE) FROM SHORT-TERM STATIONS • THE ERROR IN THE APPLICATION OF TIDAL OR WATER LEVEL ZONING

  7. ERROR BUDGET CONSIDERATIONS FOR WATER LEVELS • THE MEASUREMENT/PROCESSING ERROR IN COLLECTION OF GAUGE/SENSOR DATA AND THE PROCESSING OF THE DATA. • THE MEASUREMENT ERROR SHOULD NOT EXCEED 0.10 METER (95% CONFIDENCE LEVEL) AND INCLUDES ERROR CONTRIBUTIONS FROM: • DYNAMIC EFFECTS OF WAVES, CURRENTS, DENSITY, TEMPERATURE, ETC… ON THE SENSOR • PERFORMANCE/CALIBRATION OF THE WATER LEVEL GAUGE SYSTEM • REFERENCING OF THE SENSOR ZERO TO STATION DATUM THROUGH TIDE STAFFS, LEVELS AND BENCH MARKS • THE PROCESSING ERROR SHOULD NOT EXCEED 0.10 METER (95% CONFIDENCE LEVEL) AND INCLUDES ERROR CONTRIBUTIONS DUE TO DATA SAMPLING RATES AND INTERPOLATION OF THE WATER LEVEL DATA TO THE EXACT TIME OF THE SOUNDINGS

  8. ERROR BUDGET CONSIDERATIONS FOR WATER LEVELS • THE ERROR IN COMPUTATION OF TIDAL DATUMS FOR THE ADJUSTMENT TO A 19-YEAR NATIONAL TIDAL DATUM EPOCH (NDTE) FROM SHORT-TERM STATIONS • THE SHORTER THE TIME SERIES, THE LESS ACCURATE THE DATUM • ESTIMATED ERRORS OF AN ADJUSTED TIDAL DATUM BASED UPON ONE MONTH OF TIDE DATA ARE 0.08 METER FOR THE EAST AND WEST COASTS OF THE U.S. AND 0.11 METER FOR THE GULF COAST (95% CONFIDENCE LEVEL) • THE MORE SIMILAR THE SEA LEVEL VARIATIONS AND TIDAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SHORT-TERM STATION ARE TO THE CONTROL STATION, THE MORE ACCURATE THE DATUMS • ALTHOUGH TIDAL DATUMS ARE NOT COMPUTED FOR THE GREAT LAKES, THE ERRORS DUE TO SERIES LENGTHS AND CLOSENESS TO CONTROL STATIONS ARE ANALOGOUS

  9. THE SHORTER THE TIME SERIES, THE LESS ACCURATE THE DATUM

  10. ESTIMATING ACCURACIES OF TIDAL DATUMS FROM SHORT TERM OBSERVATIONS The Bodnar Report Bodnar (1981), drawing upon Swanson (1974) applied multiple curvilinear regression equations estimating the accuracy of computed datums Bodnar’s analyses determined which independent variables related to differences in tidal characteristics explain the variations in the Swanson standard deviations using Swanson’s standard deviations as the dependent variables. Bodnar developed formulas for Mean Low Water (MLW) and Mean High Water (MHW). The equations for Mean Low Water are presented below. S1M = 0.0068 ADLWI + 0.0053 SRGDIST + 0.0302 MNR + 0.029 S3M = 0.0043 ADLWI + 0.0036 SRGDIST + 0.0255 MNR + 0.029 S6M = 0.0019 ADLWI + 0.0023 SRGDIST + 0.0207 MNR + 0.030 S12M = 0.0045 SRSMN + 0.128 MNR + 0.025

  11. THE MORE SIMILAR THE SEA LEVEL VARIATIONS AND TIDAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SHORT-TERM STATION ARE TO THE CONTROL STATION, THE MORE ACCURATE THE DATUMS

  12. The Bodnar Report CO-OPS chose a target value of 0.12 ft (95% confidence interval) for determination of the extent of coverage for datum determination for each NWLON station. The study identifies the geographic region for each NWLON station within which a datum computation at a subordinate station with a 3-month time series will be accurate to less than or equal to 0.12 ft

  13. ERROR BUDGET CONSIDERATIONS FOR WATER LEVELS • THE ERROR IN THE APPLICATION OF TIDAL OR WATER LEVEL ZONING • TIDAL ZONING IS THE EXTRAPOLATION OF AND/OR INTERPOLATION OF TIDAL CHARACTERISTICS FROM A KNOWN SHORE POINT(S) TO A DESIRED SURVEY AREA USING TIME DIFFERENCES AND RANGE RATIOS • FOR THE GREAT LAKES, WATER LEVEL ZONING IS THE INTERPOLATION OF DATUM CORRECTIONS TO THE REFERENCE DATUM OF IGLD 85 BETWEEN STATIONS AND IS ESPECIALLY SIGNIFICANT IN THE INTERCONNECTING WATERWAYS IN THE LAKES SYSTEM • THE GREATER THE EXTRAPOLATION/INTEROLATION, THE GREATER THE ERROR • ESTIMATES FOR A TYPICAL ERROR ASSOCIATED WITH TIDAL ZONING ARE 0.20 METER (95% CONFIDENCE LEVEL) • TIDAL ZONING EERRORS CAN DOMINATE THE ERROR BUDGET IN AREAS OFCOMPLEX AND ILL-DEFINED TIDAL REGIMES AND IN AREAS WHICH METEROROLGICAL FORCING DOMINATES THE TIDE. IN THESE SITUATIONS, ERRORS DUE TO TIDAL ZONING CAN EASILY EXCEED 0.20 METER (95% CONFIDENCE LEVEL)
