French Creek Site Data
 

The STELLA model developed contains measurements of stream temperature and dissolved oxygen taken from the French Creek Project data below.  When this real data is inserted in the STELLA model and one of the following four variables: turbulence, temperature, photosynthesis, and respiration of aquatic organisms are manipulated, changes to the stream dynamics are then calculated and displayed graphically.
