Abstract
The Branched Lagrangian Transport Model (BLTM) has received wide use within
the U.S. Geological Survey over the past 10 years. This report documents the
enhancements and modifications that have been made to this modeling system
since it was first introduced. The programs in the modeling system are
arranged into five levels -- programs to generate time-series of
meteorological data (EQUILTMP, SOLAR), programs to process time-series data
(INTRP, MRG), programs to build input files for the transport model (BBLTM,
BQUAL2E), the model with defined reaction kinetics (BLTM, QUAL2E), and post
processor plotting programs (CTPLT, CXPLT). An example application is
presented to illustrate how the modeling system can be used to simulate 10
water-quality constituents in the Chattahoochee River below Atlanta,
Georgia.
