Description

Each folder in this data set contains a complete model run with code, input, and output files. Folder names correspond to release number (R1-R5, each with a different particle release date) and release replicate number (1-5, each with a different seed value for the random number generators). Please see the LTRANS User’s Guide for parameter descriptions.

Methods & Sampling

The open-source Lagrangian TRANSport model (LTRANS) was implemented for the Chotpank and Little Choptank Rivers in Maryland.

The code of LTRANS is available on the PI's website at https://northweb.hpl.umces.edu/LTRANS.htm and on GitHub at https://github.com/LTRANS/LTRANSv.2b.
