1DTempPro: Analyzing Temperature Profiles for Groundwater/Surface-water Exchange.

A new computer program, 1DTempPro, is presented for the analysis of vertical one-dimensional ( 1D) temperature profiles under saturated flow conditions. 1DTempPro is a graphical user interface to the U.S. Geological Survey code Variably Saturated 2-Dimensional Heat Transport ( VS2DH), which numerically solves the flow and heat-transport equations. Pre- and postprocessor features allow the user to calibrate VS2DH models to estimate vertical groundwater/surface-water exchange and also hydraulic conductivity for cases where hydraulic head is known.
