To whom it may concern
I’m using AEM3D to simulate the profile distribution of water temperature, dissolved oxygen, and chlorophyll-a in deep water lakes (with an average depth of more than 70 meters) on a daily basis for four years. However, the simulated value of water temperature at the highest temperature in summer is 3 ℃ lower than the measured value (the annual measured water temperature changes range from 15 ℃ to 23 ℃, while the simulated values range from 15 ℃ to 20 ℃) , the thermocline is not obvious. There seems to be too much heat penetrating into the hypolimnion. I've tired playing around a lot with the various parameters (such as mean_albedo,wind_cd and SURF_HEAT_TRANSF_COEFF) but to no avail.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated
