Loading the current rainfall-driven scenario…
Modeled elapsed hour 0.
This is what the model thinks the plume may look like. It uses the current rainfall snapshot plus the river, current speed, and bearing shown above. It is not a satellite observation, measured current, measured turbidity, visibility forecast, or safety determination.
How it works
Established screening methods, joined transparently
- Three weather-grid points sample each upstream watershed; their hourly precipitation is averaged.
- SCS Curve Number converts cumulative rainfall into excess rainfall.
- A triangular unit hydrograph routes that volume into discharge.
- A sensitivity rating curve estimates suspended-sediment flux.
- Hourly midpoint releases move through a constant-current Gaussian plume.
- Reef values report modeled TSS. The optical proxy is not presented as diver visibility.
Rainfall and weather update automatically from Open-Meteo's continuously refreshed blend of national weather models. Past hours are archived forecast-model output, not observations, analysis, reanalysis, radar QPE, or local rain-gauge measurements. The ocean-current controls remain a separate scenario until a reliable live CARICOOS current feed is integrated.
