Basin modelling

Frequency domain performance has been analyzed with goodness-of-fit tests such as the Chi-square, Kolmogorov-Smirnov, and Wilcoxon Rank Sum tests. The studies by Young and Alward (14) and Hartigan et. al. (J 3) demonstrate the use of these tests for pesticide runoff and large-scale river basin modeling efforts, respectively, in conjunction with the paired-data tests. James and Burges ( 1 6 ) discuss the use of the above statistics and some additional tests in both the calibration and verification phases of model validation. They also discuss methods of data analysis for detection of errors this last topic needs additional research in order to consider uncertainties in the data which provide both the model input and the output to which model predictions are compared.

The authors have used this intermediate approach to treat power plants in the Los Angeles Basin modeling study (50). Some of these plants are situated along the coastline, and their emissions are advected across the Basin under prevailing wind conditions. Typically emissions from these plants travel a horizontal distance of 2-5 miles before they are considered well-mixed in the vertical. Since an individual cell is 2 miles by 2 miles and horizontal dispersion of the plume under low winds extends about 2 miles after a 2-5 mile traverse, the assumption of approximately uniform distribution immediately downwind of the source is reasonable. A computational scheme for apportioning emissions among cells downwind of the source under these circumstances is described by Roberts et al. (50).

From a geochemical point of view, one of the most important contributions to basin modeling would be the determination of kinetic parameters, followed by characterization of organic matter types. More comprehensive reviews can be found on these topics in articles by Waples (1984, 1994), Hunt (1996), and Welte et al. (1997).

In conclusion, the local thickness variations imply a relatively shallow depth of burial during the fault activity (below ca. 500 m). Basin modelling and backstripping across the Oseberg area supports this statement (Roberts et al., 1993, 1995).
