    • Retention and transport time metrics from particle tracking simulations of two sub-reaches of the Upper Missouri River near Wolf Point, MT

    Metadata Updated: December 11, 2025

    This dataset contains retention and transport time metrics from particle tracking simulations for two sub-reaches of the Upper Missouri River near Wolf Point, MT. The upstream reach is referred to as the “upper” reach while the downstream reach is referred to as the “lower” reach. Simulations were performed for 16 flows in the range of 185-635 cubic meters per second (cms) at increments of 30 cms. Simulations were performed in each reach for all 16 flows for a combination of 1 of 3 vertical movement methods (passive, active60pct, and active75pct) and 1 of 3 lateral eddy viscosity (LEV) scenarios (0.5, 1, and 2 times the base value, referred to as LEVx0p5, LEVx1, or LEVx2, respectively), resulting in 288 total simulations. passive =vertical movement determined by random walk; active60pct = vertical movement modeled as sine wave constrained to 60% of flow depth; active75pct = vertical movement modeled as sine wave constrained to 75% of flow depth
