Lake Mendota long term water quality model

General Information
Data Package:
Local Identifier:knb-lter-ntl.430.1
Title:Lake Mendota long term water quality model
Alternate Identifier:DOI PLACE HOLDER
Abstract:

The data are associated with the following manuscript: Hanson, P. C., Ladwig, R., Buelo, C., Albright, E. A., Delany, A. D., & Carey, C. (2023). Legacy phosphorus and ecosystem memory control future water quality in a eutrophic lake. Lake water and ice observational data and lake bathymetry are from the North Temperate Lakes Long Term Ecological Research program. Brief abstract of the work: To investigate how water quality in Lake Mendota might respond to nutrient pollution reduction, we used computer models to simulate the elimination of phosphorus inputs from the catchment and track water quality change. The data herein are used to drive and calibrate the model. In addition, model code and simulation output are included as "other entities."

Description:

All observational data were re-used from previous publications (see below) or from the NTL LTER core physical and chemical data, ice data, and lake hypsometry data published in EDI. Provenance below. Discharge data are from the paper: Hanson et al. 2021 (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2020.109136). Meteorological data are from the NLDAS.

Instrument(s):These are all manually sampled data.
