Considerations for Segmentation


Spatial scale of the problem
Segment of a water body (e.g., reach, embayment) Whole water body (e.g., main river, lake, estuary) Whole river basin network Box, 1-, 2-, 3-dimensions Horizontal: tens of meters to tens of kilometers Vertical: whole water column to tens of centimeters Water column (epilimnion, hypolimnion) Benthic sediments (surface, subsurface) Maximum # of Segments 3000 Maximum # of Time Pairs 4000

Spatial Precision
Model assumption:

Instant mixing throughout segment

Network scale determines how precisely the model will be able to reproduce observed gradients.
