Modeled transport components of daily chlorophyll-a in the Illinois River, 2018 through 2020 (version 1.1, April 2024)

TThis data release contains approximately three years of modeled chlorophyll-a—a proxy for planktonic algal biomass—transport through a 394-km portion of the Illinois River. Defined by four distinct reaches, model estimates include daily water balance, velocities, and algal biomass separated into its components of net growth, net loss, transported from upstream, and input from tributaries.

First release: February 2024
