Abstract

The phytoplankton mass and available phosphorus during a destratification experiment, at Lake Calhoun, Minnesota, are simulated by a numerical, multilayered, unsteady numerical model. A timescale of one day is used. The effects of surface mixed layer dynamics, phosphorus inflows from surface runoff, recycling of phosphorus from the sediments, available light, temperature, and mixing in the hypolimnion on phytoplankton productivity are analyzed.
