Modeled temperature data developed for study of shallow mountain bedrock limits seepage-based headwater climate refugia, Shenandoah National Park, Virginia: U.S. Geological Survey data release
Description
1D transient numerical simulations with a modified version of the SUTRA model
(preliminary code) that accounts for variably-saturated freeze-thaw dynamics
(e.g. McKenzie and Voss, 2013) to predict annual alluvial aquifer temperature
dynamics using coupled fluid and heat transport physics. The model simulations
were run with a modified version of SUTRA_ICE (unreleased) that accomadates
a time-variable sinusiodal upper temperature boundary. This data release also
includes the source code and Argus One GUI files used to build the models,
though this proprietary software is not needed to run the models as described
in the upper-level "readme" file.
