Alvise Finotello @alvitello.bsky.social · 12/03/2026So the question becomes: what is meant by precitability? A mechanistic prediction of where the river channel will be in X years (kinda weather forecast) or perhaps a stastical representation of the process (kinda climate forecast), i.e. the river is more likely to be in position Y than in Z? 110
Alvise Finotello @alvitello.bsky.social · 11/03/2026Genuine question (I dont' have a definitive answer): in a river where planform change occurs only via neck cutoffs, is the predictability horizon basically set by the (mean) cutoff timescale?i.e., if the mean time for a bend to cutoff is T, does prediction close to or beyond T become meaningless? 100
