Abstract: The modeling tool presented in the paper is built by coupling Acoustic-Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) measurements with a one-dimensional pollutant transport analytical model. The model, dubbed Arc River Pollutant Transport Model (ARPTM), was designed to run on top of GIS platforms to take advantage of the technology's capabilities to visualize and track geo-referenced processes. ARPTM assembles measurements, modeling, and cyberinfrastructure components to create a useful cyber-tool for determining and visualizing the dynamics of the “clouds” of pollutants while dispersing in space and time.
