Calibrates hydraulic flood models against on-the-ground observations in Jakarta.

Teguh Wibowo calibrates hydraulic flood models against on-the-ground observations in Jakarta, the painstaking work that decides whether a model can be trusted. He compares what the simulation predicts with what residents and sensors actually recorded, then tunes the model until the two agree.

His attention to this match between model and reality is what gives the lab's flood projections their credibility when they reach planners and agencies.
