    Abstract

    The parameters of the STIR model, used with only one storage zone, were estimated by optimizing the model to a set of tracer data collected in the Murray Burn in Edinburgh. The results for cross-sectional area and dispersion coefficient were consistent with those from an independent analysis of the same data. The dispersion and transient storage parameter results suggest that the upper part of study site has different longitudinal mixing characteristics to other parts of the study site, which reflects differences in the geomorphology along the channel.
