Model of Mississippi River Pool: Dissolved Oxygen
Publication: Journal of Environmental Engineering
Volume 109, Issue 5
Abstract
A simulation of dissolved oxygen (DO) dynamics and of biomass is incorporated in a dynamic wind and gravity driven hydrologic transport model. Quantitative expressions are given for the source and sink terms describing photosynthesis, respiration, settling, sedimentary oxygen uptake and reaeration in the mass transport equation. Simulations are made for a 6‐hr timescale. The magnitude of diurnal DO variations and the occurrence of other weather dependent DO responses is shown. The model is applied to Mississippi River Pool No. 2.
