abstract = {For subsurface solute transport, flux concentrations are
key, while usually resident concentrations are measured.
Flux concentrations are frequently estimated from resident
concentrations by temporal moment analysis. We tested this
approach by simulating transport of an injected tracer
during steady flow in an aquifer with a heterogeneous
saturated hydraulic conductivity. We constructed grid
cell-scale breakthrough curves (BTCs) from flux
concentrations and approximated BTCs from resident
concentrations and estimated flux concentrations. We
assembled these BTCs into spatiotemporal leaching surfaces
at various aquifer cross sections for subsequent analysis.
Resident concentrations were unsuitable to assess solute
movement in the aquifer. Temporal moment analysis worked
well when the entire aquifer cross section was considered
but performed poorer at the grid cell scale because it
approximates the local velocity by the trajectory average.
The leaching surfaces served as valuable tools to
demonstrate and quantify the limitations of temporal moment
analysis.},
