Sediment Diagenesis/Specified Fluxes

If the full sediment diagenesis sub-model is being used then the user has the ability to view the concentrations and/or resulting nutrient fluxes using Viewing Opt | Diagenesis. If the user is applying a constant or time variable specified nutrient flux then the user can view the nutrient flux zones and flux rates using Viewing Opt | Sediment Flux.
Sediment Diagenesis
When the full diagenesis option has been selected the Viewing Opt | Diagenesis is available to view/edit the initial concentrations and, after a model run, post-process the concentrations and nutrient fluxes. An example of the Options frame is shown in the adjacent graphic. Below the dropdown list for the diagenesis parameter is a sub-option area that changes with the parameter selected.
The Show Zone checkbox overrides the current parameter and shows the diagenesis zones instead. For pre-processing, the zones can be edited using the cell property copy function and the diagenesis parameters can be edited by RMC'ing on a cell (if Enable Edit is checked).
The diagenesis parameters that are available for viewing are provided in Table 1. The sub-options that are available for each parameter are also listed.

Sediment Flux
There are two specified flux options, one for invariant fluxes horizontally and temporally, and another that varies by zones in conjunction with mud/sand distributions (not linked to the sediment transport sub-model).
The parameters that are available for display are:

If the temporally varying option was selected the Time (days): field is displayed to view the nutrient fluxes assigned for that day. These are input flux rates, not computed flux rates by EFDC.
