SIMO v1.0: simplified model of the vertical temperature profile in a small, warm, monomictic lake

Abstract ≈ ∘ C) was able to reproduce the onset of stratification and convective overturn. The epilimnion temperature was somewhat overestimated, especially with the onset of the convective overturn. The upper limit of the metalimnion was well captured, while its thickness was overestimated. Nevertheless, the values of the model performance measures obtained for a yearlong simulation were comparable with those reported for other, more complex models. Thus, the presented model can also be used for long-term simulations and the assessment of the onset and duration of lake stratification periods when water temperature data are unavailable, which can be useful for various lake studies performed in other scientific fields, such as biology, geochemistry, and sedimentology.
