OR/14/065 Modelled volume, purpose and scale
| Finlayson, A G, and Arkley, S L B. 2014. Model metadata report for the Moray Ness regional GSI3D model. British Geological Survey Internal Report, OR/14/065. |
The Moray Ness Regional GSI3D model covers an area of over 1200 km2; it is bounded to the north by the Moray Firth and to the south by higher ground where basement rock outcrops at surface (Figure 1).
The model was constructed to provide a calculated model framework for Zoom ground water flow modelling in relation to alleviating and preventing the threat of flooding in the region, see MacDonald et al, 2008[1] and Vounaki, Hughes and MacDonald, 2011[2].
The model is suitable for scales up to 1:625 000, down to a depth of -400 m OD.
