In this example AutoCal performs Parameter Optimisation.
The setup used in the example is a simple MIKE 21 HD FM model describing the increase of salinity in a large shallow reclamation basin that is suddenly subjected to a tidal flush due to a local failure in the bank next to the sea with a tidal water level variation. See the setup for details.
The initial salinity in the basin is low, but after 24 hours the salinity in the corner is supposedly measured to 15 PSU, see Figure 2.5 for location. The objective of this example is to calibrate the dispersion parameter such that the model setup can predict the increase of salinity correctly.

The example is included as Test1_Autocal.auc. Two subfolders, called "Setup" and "Measurements", are present. The first one contains all the relevant files for the auto-calibration simulation while the second one includes all the measurements/observed data (for Example 1 only one Time Series Dfs0 file is present).
