Abstract:
A one-box exponential model with constant coefficients generally suffices to describe
the winter oxygen uptake of a holomictic lake with no ice cover. A simple modification
of the model - settling the gas transfer velocity to zero during periods of ice cover -
allows the mean oxygen concentration in the lake to be predicted irrespective of
whether the lake is frozen over or not.
Model purpose
Prediction of the winter oxygen uptake of a lake, including the effect of ice cover.

III.2 Quantities
III.2.1 Input
Cs = oxygen saturation concentration [M*L-3]
Co = homogeneous O2 contentration at time t=0(early winter) [M*L-3]
beta = O2 transfer velocity [L*T-1] sigma = mean lake depth [L]
J = net O2 consumption rate [M*L-3*T-1]
ta = time of freeze-up [T]
tb = time of break-up [T]
III.2.2 Output
C = Cs - J*sigma/beta=equilibrium O2 concentration [M*L-3]
Ca = C - (C - C0) exp[(-beta/2)ta] = O2 concentration at t = ta [M*L-3]
Cb = Ca-J(tb-ta)=O2 Concentration at t=tb[M*L-3]
Cm = C - (C - Cb)exp[(-beta/2) (tm-tb)] = O2 concentration at t = tm After timebreak [M*L-3]
