In the steady state mode, average local climatological data must be supplied by the user. It is required only if specified in Data Type 1, card 8. Those variables will not be perturbed in any UNCAS simulation, and thus will not contribute to the uncertainty of the modeled output. As part of this Laboratory's research on the occurrence, movement, transformation, impact and control of environ- mental contaminants, the Assessment Branch develops management or engineering tools to help pollution control officials achieve water quality goals. The user simply specifies the generic groups of output variables for which uncertainty results are desired. Each card, one for each reach, contains the following information: The user is provided this array of options for flexibility, because the methods differ in their assumptions and will not always agree with each other.

Waste Load Allocation Verification Study: The addition of industrial waste at RM 24, however, dramatically reduces light penetration to the extent that the algal population diminishes in the downstream direction.
Thus both algae and temperature simulations draw on the sam? Neal, "Tracer Measurement of Reaeration: Thus, for systems in which variable ambient temperature and climatology quall2e be important, for example in modeling rivers with large changes in elevation, different values for these factors may be supplied for each reach in the river.
This card contains the downstream boundary concentrations for algae, nitrogen, and phosphorus as follows. This data file is not used with the first order error analysis option.
In this option, the algal growth limitation factor for light is formulated to include ep order effects of light intensity: The general basis of a finite difference scheme is to find the value of a variable e. Subsequent lines contain the variance information, formatted as follows.
Element on mainstream immediately upstream of a junction. The user simply specifies the epq groups of output variables for which uncertainty results are desired. The first seven cards control program options.
Enhanced Stream Water Quality Models QUAL2E and QUAL2E-UNCAS: Documentation and User Model
This user's guide is designed to assist the user in this process. One card is necessary for each reach, and contains the following; information: As with the other sensitivity analysis options, groups of factorial design conditions may appear one after the other in this data type.
The basic equation solved by QUAL2E is the one dimensional advection- dispers'ion mass transport equation, which is numerically integrated over space and time for each water quality constituent.
Hunter, Statistics for Experimenters. Information is supplied in two data fields per card, columns and The temporal derivative is approximated at distance step i. The default option is the normal distribution.

Any value less than 1. Corresponding input data units are entered in columns 57 through 60 e. It is required only in steady-state simulations when light averaging options 1 or 3 Data Type 1A, card 8 are selected. Evidence shows that the use of Smith's function is preferrable over the half saturation method if photoinhibition effects are unimportant Jassby and Platt, quzl2e If the columns are left blank, the model uses a default value of 0. QUAL2E typically qula2e K bytes of memory and uses a single system input device cards or disk file and the system's line printer or disk file as the output device.
The time step interval is used only for a dynamic simulation, thus it may be omitted if the simulation is steady-state. This line of data may be repeated for one variable at a time sensitivity simulations with other variables or other levels of perturbation. The temperature simulation uses a heat balance across the air-water interface and thus requires values of wet and dry bulb air tempera- tures, atmospheric pressure, wind velocity, and cloud cover.

In this option, the algal growth limitation factor for light is defined by a Monod expression: Similarly, a materials balance for any constituent C can be written for the element. The QUAL2E model was chosen for this application because it is a general purpose computer code, widely used by consultants and state regulatory agencies in waste load allocation and other planning activities.
The conservative constituents, of course, neither decay nor interact in any way with other constituents. The selection of a daily diurnal light averaging option depends largely on the detail to which the user wishes to account for the diurnal variation in light intensity.
