A three-dimensional model of Lake Superior with ice and biogeochemistry

摘要: Abstract The formation of winter ice on Lake Superior has been shown to be important in determining the annual thermal cycle lake and long-term trends surface water temperature increase. However, modeling studies date have not included dynamic thermodynamic cover. These physical characteristics turn can significant impacts biogeochemical cycling within lake. We present a new three-dimensional model that includes model. Results from forced by observed meteorological conditions for period 1985 2008 are discussed compared with available observations. Modeled interannual increasing decreasing cover rates. In model, total gross primary productivity is found correlate positively mean negatively ice-cover magnitude.
