Model ensembles have several benefits compared to single-model applications but are not frequently used within the lake modelling community. Setting up and running multiple models can be challenging time consuming, despite many similarities between existing (forcing data, hypsograph, etc.). Here we present an R package, LakeEnsemblR, that facilitates of five different vertical one-dimensional hydrodynamic (FLake, GLM, GOTM, Simstrat, MyLake). The package requires input in a standardised format single configuration file. LakeEnsemblR formats these files required by each model, provides functions run calibrate models. outputs compiled into file, post-processing operations supported. LakeEnsemblR's workflow standardisation simplify model benchmarking uncertainty quantification, improve collaborations scientists. We showcase successful application for two lakes.

Floating solar panels on reservoirs impact phytoplankton populations: A modelling experiment

Journal of Environmental Management, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 324, С. 116410 - 116410

Floating solar photovoltaic (FPV) deployments are increasing globally as the switch to renewable energy intensifies, representing a considerable water surface transformation. FPV installations can potentially impact aquatic ecosystem function, either positively or negatively. However, these impacts poorly resolved given challenges of collecting empirical data for field modelling experiments. In particular, there is limited evidence on response phytoplankton changes in body thermal dynamics and light climate with FPV. Given importance understanding biomass species composition managing services, we use an uncertainty estimation approach simulate effect coverage array siting location UK reservoir. was modified 10% increments from baseline 0% 100% three different locations based reservoir circulation patterns.

Achieving global sustainability goals requires most people and societies to fundamentally revisit their relationship with nature. New approaches are called for guide change processes towards sustainable futures that embrace the plurality of people's desired relationships This paper presents a novel approach exploring desirable nature was developed through an application in Nationaal Park Hollandse Duinen Netherlands. new national park is bottom-up by diverse group actors reshaping interactions each other Our approach, co-designed key stakeholders park, engages pluralistic framework human-nature presented IPBES task force on scenarios models catalyze development nature-centered scenarios. We integrated this Nature Futures Framework Three Horizons participatory workshop process designed bring fore, jointly envision pathways get there. present methodology analyze compare visions assess potential contribution SDGs. summarize results reflect lessons learned. The successfully engaged participants joint exploration based plural perspectives relationships. see much its applications support various social-ecological contexts toward more people.

The Warming of Large Lakes on the Tibetan Plateau: Evidence From a Lake Model Simulation of Nam Co, China, During 1979–2012

Journal of Geophysical Research Atmospheres, Год журнала: 2017, Номер 122(24)

Abstract Lakes are considered as indicators of climate change on the Tibetan Plateau (TP). In present study, we use General Lake Model to simulate water temperature changes in Nam Co, second largest lake central TP, for period 1979–2012. The calibration and validation results demonstrate that this model is well suited thermal simulation Co. indicate Co has responded recent warming climate. average summer surface fluctuated yearly, but its trend positive at a rate 0.52 ± 0.25°C per decade. At same time, onset stratification advanced by 4.20 2.02 d decade, duration increased 6.00 3.54 To explore roles air longwave radiation warming, three sensitivity experiments conducted removing long‐term trends from time series forcing data. These prove both downward two driving factors responsible
