OTIS is a mathematical simulation model used to characterize the fate and transport of water-borne solutes in streams and rivers. The governing equation underlying the model is the advection-dispersion equation with additional terms to account for transient storage, lateral inflow, first-order decay, and sorption. This equation and the associated equations describing transient storage and sorption are solved using a Crank-Nicolson finite-difference solution.

OTIS may be used in conjunction with data from field-scale tracer experiments to quantify the hydrologic parameters affecting solute transport. This application typically involves a trial-and-error approach wherein parameter estimates are adjusted to obtain an acceptable match between simulated and observed tracer concentrations. Additional applications include analyses of nonconservative solutes that are subject to sorption processes or first-order decay. OTIS-P, a modified version of OTIS, couples the solution of the governing equation with a nonlinear regression package. OTIS-P determines an optimal set of parameter estimates that minimize the squared differences between the simulated and observed concentrations, thereby automating the parameter estimation process.

Pre-processing software needed? Yes
Describe pre-processing software OTIS relies on flat ASCII (text) files for input and output. At present, a graphical user interface for comprehensive management of OTIS input and output is not available. OTIS input files have traditionally been developed on the user's local computer system using a text-based editor. As an alternative, users may fill out the web-based forms available via the Generate Input section of http://water.usgs.gov/software/OTIS/. After providing the required information, users can download the resultant input files and run OTIS in the usual manner.
Post-processing software needed? Yes
Describe post-processing software All output is written to flat ASCII files. OTIS output files are usually read into a spreadsheet or graphics program for plotting and analysis.

Issues

OTIS can also be built from source on macOS using gfortran. Here are the steps.

Edit the makefiles in the otis, otis-p, share, and starpac directories, replacing these lines:

F77 = f77 $(FFLAGS)
FFLAGS = -O -u

with these:

FC = gfortran
F77 = $(FC) $(FFLAGS)
FFLAGS =

In the share directory, make a copy of the generic header file and call it header.f:

$ cp header.generic.f header.f

From the root directory of the source distribution, you can now call make to build all the executables:

$ make

Note that I had problems building OTIS with the gfortran I installed from Homebrew. Instead, I used the gfortran from my Anaconda Python distribution:

$ which gfortran
/Users/mpiper/anaconda/bin/gfortran
$ gfortran --version
