Total Combined Likelihood
Modified Consequence Factor
Consequence Values corrected so that Worst Octant matches Combined Factor:
Which produces worst results, Directional or Random Drift data?
The values in the table are corrected to represent the value for the relevant octant as if there was a 100% certainty that should the MODU break adrift it WILL drift in that
relevant octant, but then factored so that the maximum value given as "Total Combined Likelihood Modified Consequence Factor" is aligned with the worst direction.
Hence each octant is assigned the full near surface and subsurface values, plus the distant values for that octant multiplied by 8, but then reduced by a ratio to ensure
the worst octant value is correct. It is for this reason that the numbers will not be the same as the obvious source of the data.
