The Modeling Process…. Primer on BRAVO Modeling:
PDCH tracer from Eagle Pass PDCH tracer from Eagle Pass BBNP BBNP Dispersion is a Lagrangian Process:
Observed and Predicted PDCH – All monitors: y = 0.203 x + 0.361 R = 0.25
Conclusions: • Some skill in replicating timing (but often not magnitude) of the 12 hr and 24 hr Eagle Pass timing tracers • Measured and predicted tracer concentration from Big Brown (PPCH) low (< 1 ppqV) • Model tends to over-predict average concentrations at southern monitors • Correlation coefficients: 0.05 – 0.65
