Map distributions of wetlands are predicted under conditions of accelerated sea level rise, and results are summarized in tabular and graphical form. For each time step the fractional conversion from one class to another is computed on the basis of the relative change in elevation divided by the elevation range of the class in that cell. In addition to mapped output: Available Statistics include: • n cells: The number of cells covered by that land category. Statistics based on small sample sizes should probably be discounted to some degree. • 5th percentile and 95th percentile: The 90% confidence interval for this particular land category in half-tide units. These can be compared with the “Min HTU” and “Max HTU” conceptual model columns. • Mean, St. Dev.: The average elevation value and standard deviation in half tide units. • Min, Max: The minimum and maximum elevation for this cell in half-tide units. These data are usually less useful as horizontal error in a single cell’s classification can produce strange results. • % < Min: The current percentage of cells below the minimum elevation specified.
