Preliminary DO Results | Weekly Research Update

Today is a special day. Finally, I have DO results from LiveOcean! Recall that this test implements WWTPs as tiny rivers. There is a Baseline condition which models existing nutrients conditions, and there is a No WWTP DIN condition that has zero nitrate and ammonium in WWTP effluent. When I first started working with the model output this week, the No WWTP DIN condition had only finished running through September 15. Thus, the comparison plots below only show difference timeseries through September 15. The colormaps show average bottom DO from September 1 - September 15. Note that all data were extracted on a daily frequency (hour 20 of each day). Figure 1 presents the original plot I had sketched up for the poster outli

Very interesting! You are correct that Agate Pass is missing. That was an oversight in the original cas6 grid, one that I should probably correct in the next version. In general the new baseline model seems to have DO biased high, whereas the original model was biased low. Not sure why but it would be nice to figure out how to get it "just right". I think the difference comes from the changes we made the the NPZDOC code, not the addition of the traps loading.
