How the modeled plume moves

The map animates the included 50 mm Añasco sensitivity scenario toward Rincón. It is a rendered model example, not live current or water-quality data.

How it works

Established screening methods, joined transparently

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.
