Summary

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Research and Development Center and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, developed a predictive, mechanistic, three-dimensional hydrodynamic model for the St. Louis River Estuary (SLRE), Minnesota. This model was developed with Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code (EFDC), a grid-based, surface-water modeling package for simulating three-dimensional circulation, mass transport, sediments, and biogeochemical processes. The new model predicts discharge, water-surface elevations, flow velocity, and water temperature. The model was calibrated using data collected from April 2016 through November 2016 and validated with data collected from [...]

Material Request Instructions

This model requires at least the demo version of EFDC_Explorer from Dynamic Solutions, International. EFDC_Explorer falls within the EE Modeling System; the demo version can be downloaded directly from the EE Modeling System webpage: https://www.eemodelingsystem.com/buy/demo-version.

Purpose

This model was created to simulate water-surface elevations, water temperature, and discharge for the St. Louis River estuary (SLRE), Minnesota-Wisconsin. The model documentation and validation are documented in the U.S. Geological Survey Investigations Report 2020-5028 (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20205028).
