[en] The model consists of a four-component ecosystem model,
coupled to a hydrodynamic model. The hydrodynamic
model considers the Lake as two homogeneous layers of
different density lying above each other, representing the
warm epilimnion (surface mixed layer) and cold dense
hypolimnion (lower layer) separated by a thermocline
