Simulation and Validation of Larval Sucker Dispersal and Retention through the Restored Williamson River Delta and Upper Klamath Lake System, Oregon


Appendix A. Animations of Particle Tracking Simulations, May 16–June 4, 2009


Travel times at three starting lake elevations:

Scenario C.—Animation of particle tracking simulation between May 16 and June 4, 2009. Dispersal of particles is by random swimming with nighttime only drift in the Williamson River channel. The starting elevation of the lake is as measured in 2009. (AVI, 5.9 MB)

Scenario C-.—Animation of particle tracking simulation between May 16 and June 4, 2009. Dispersal of particles is by random swimming with nighttime only drift in the Williamson River channel. The starting elevation of the lake is 0.25 m below measured elevation in 2009 (Scenario C). (AVI, 6 MB)

Scenario C+.—Animation of particle tracking simulation between May 16 and June 4, 2009. Dispersal of particles is by random swimming with nighttime only drift in the Williamson River channel. The starting elevation of the lake is 0.19 m above measured elevation in 2009 (Scenario C). (AVI, 5.7 MB)

Travel times at three shoreline configurations:

Scenario C 2007.—Animation of particle tracking simulation between May 16 and June 4, 2009. Dispersal of particles is by random swimming with nighttime only drift in the Williamson River channel. The shoreline configuration is as it was in 2007 prior to the start of restoration at the Williamson River delta. (AVI, 4.8 MB)

Scenario C 2008.—Animation of particle tracking simulation between May 16 and June 4, 2009. Dispersal of particles is by random swimming with nighttime only drift in the Williamson River channel. The shoreline configuration is as it was in 2008 after the first phase of restoration was completed and the northern part of the Williamson River delta (Tulana) was reconnected to Upper Klamath and Agency Lakes. (AVI, 4.8 MB)

Scenario C.—Animation of particle tracking simulation between May 16 and June 4, 2009. Dispersal of particles is by random swimming with nighttime only drift in the Williamson River channel. The shoreline configuration as it existed starting in 2009 after restoration was completed and both the northern (Tulana) and southern (Goose Bay) parts of the Williamson River delta were reconnected to Upper Klamath and Agency Lakes. (AVI, 5.9 MB)
