This dataset contains breakthrough curves calculated from particle tracking simulations of a July 1, 2019, larval drift experiment conducted on the Upper Missouri River near Wolf Point, MT. Breakthrough curves were generated using a custom script written in the Python programming language that counts the number of particles per time step passing through sampling locations. Breakthrough curves were generated for particles using passive, active75pct, and active60pct vertical movement methods at the first two sampling stations downstream of the release location.

This dataset contains animations of particle tracking of the July 1, 2019, larval drift experiment on the Upper Missouri River near Wolf Point, MT. Animations do not contain audio and depict particles moving from the top of the reach (left side) to the bottom of the reach (right side). A total of 9 animations are included with each corresponding to the combination of 1 of 3 vertical movement methods (active60pct, active75pct, or passive) and 1 of 3 lateral eddy viscosity scenarios (LEVx0p5, LEVx1, or LEVx2).

The U.S. Geological Survey simulated the drift and dispersal of invasive carp eggs and larvae in the Maumee River, Ohio, using the Fluvial Egg Drift Simulator (FluEgg) (Garcia and others, 2013; Domanski, 2020). The hydraulic inputs used in the FluEgg simulations were generated using a one-dimensional Hydrologic Engineering Center-River Analysis System (HEC-RAS) (version 5.0.7) model of the Maumee River (HEC-RAS, 2020). HEC-RAS simulations and FluEgg simulations were run for both steady and unsteady flow conditions. This data release contains an archive of the relevant files to document and run the HEC-RAS and FluEgg simulations of the Maumee River as well as the simulation outputs.

This page contains results from 304 Fluvial Egg Drift Simulator (FluEgg; version 4.1.1) simulations of invasive carp eggs and larvae in the Maumee River, Ohio, under unsteady flow conditions. FluEgg models the drift and dispersion of eggs and larvae in fluvial environments. The eggs develop, changing in size and density, and eventually hatch into larvae. The simulations end when the larvae reach the gas bladder inflation stage or when the set duration of the simulation is exceeded (whichever comes first). FluEgg requires the user to provide hydraulic data to drive the drift model. The hydraulic inputs for these FluEgg simulations were generated using a one-dimensional unsteady hydraulic model of the Maumee River (see the other child items of this data release for more information about the hydraulic model) for four unsteady flow periods in which grass carp eggs or larvae were collected on the Maumee River: July 11-14, 2017, June 11-14, 2018, June 22-27, 2018, and May 28-30, 2019. The upstream end of the model domain (0.0 river kilometers) is located 280 meters downstream from Independence Dam near Defiance, Ohio, and the downstream end of the model domain is the mouth of the Maumee River at Lake Erie near NOAA tidal gage 9063085 (95.6 river kilometers). In FluEgg, the hydraulic conditions at the downstream end of the model domain extend infinitely downstream to allow eggs and larvae to drift beyond the model domain. Therefore, any drift distances greater than 95.6 kilometers should be excluded from further analysis of these data. FluEgg simulations were first run in reverse using the reverse time particle tracking algorithm (RTPT) in FluEgg using the time, location, and developmental stage of 73 captured grass carp eggs and larvae as input. Accounting for replicates, a total of 28 FluEgg simulations were run in reverse for a single invasive carp species (grass carp). Because RTPT simulations result in distributions of potential spawning areas, a series of 276 iterative forward FluEgg simulations were run to further refine the likely grass carp spawning area for the 28 groups of eggs/larvae. Each simulation included 10,000 grass carp eggs, which were assumed to have been spawned at the water surface and at the midpoint of the channel.

This page contains model inputs and results from 390 Fluvial Egg Drift Simulator (FluEgg) (version 4.1.1) simulations of invasive carp eggs and larvae in the Maumee River, Ohio, under steady flow conditions. FluEgg models the drift and dispersion of eggs and larvae in fluvial environments. The eggs develop, changing in size and density, and eventually hatch into larvae. The simulations end when the larvae reach the gas bladder inflation stage. FluEgg requires the user to provide hydraulic data to drive the drift model. The hydraulic inputs for these FluEgg simulations were generated using a one-dimensional steady hydraulic model of the Maumee River (see the other child items of this data release for more information about the hydraulic model) for 10 steady flow conditions: 500 cubic feet per second (cfs), 1,000 cfs, 5,000 cfs, 10,000 cfs, 15,000 cfs, 20,000 cfs, 25,000 cfs, 35,000 cfs, 65,000 cfs, and 100,000 cfs at the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) streamgage 04192500 Maumee River near Defiance, Ohio. The upstream end of the model domain (0.0 river kilometers) is located 280 meters downstream from Independence Dam near Defiance, Ohio, and the downstream end of the model domain is the mouth of the Maumee River at Lake Erie near the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) tidal gage 9063085 (95.6 river kilometers). In FluEgg, the hydraulic conditions at the downstream end of the model domain extend infinitely downstream to allow eggs and larvae to drift beyond the model domain. Therefore, any drift distances greater than 95.6 kilometers should be excluded from further analysis of these data. FluEgg simulations were run for all combinations of the 10 steady flow conditions, six water temperatures, and three spawning locations. For 2 of the 10 flows (10,000 and 20,000 cfs), FluEgg simulations were run for a single invasive carp species (grass carp). For the remaining eight flows, simulations were run for three invasive carp species (bighead, silver, and grass carp). The six water temperatures were 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, and 28 degrees Celsius. The streamwise coordinates of the three spawning locations were 0.0 (280 meters downstream from Independence Dam; "loc01"), 45.0 (near Grand Rapids/Providence Dams; "loc04"), and 72.5 river kilometers downstream from the upstream end of the FluEgg model domain ("loc10"). Each simulation included 5,000 invasive carp eggs, which were assumed to have been spawned at the water surface and at the midpoint of the channel.

MaumeeRiver_centerline.KML: KML file of the Maumee River centerline that represents the model domain. 78 zipped folders containing FluEgg results files. The folder names follow the convention maumee_LOC_FLOW_SPECIES_5000eggs.zip, where LOC refers to the spawning location (loc01, loc04, or loc10), FLOW refers to the discharge at USGS streamgage 04192500 - Maumee River near Defiance, Ohio, in cfs (500cfs, 1000cfs, 5000cfs, 10000cfs, 15000cfs, 20000cfs, 25000cfs, 35000cfs, 65000cfs, or 100000cfs), SPECIES refers to the invasive carp species (bighead carp, grass carp, or silver carp), and 5000eggs refers to the use of 5000 invasive carp eggs in the simulations.
