Title: The Computational Aquatic Ecosystem Dynamics Model (CAEDYM): a versatile water quality model for coupling with hydrodynamic drivers Authored by: Hipsey, M.R., Romero, J.R., Antenucci, J.P. and Imberger, J. Abstract:
The Computational Aquatic Ecosystem Dynamics Model (CAEDYM) is a freely available process-based description of the major biogeochemical processes influencing water quality. It optionally models inorganic particles, oxygen, organic and inorganic nutrients (C, N, P and Si), multiple phytoplankton and zooplankton groups, fish and bacteria. Recent developments also include optional modules for benthic organisms (e.g. clams, macroalgae and submerged macrophytes), pathogens and microbial indicator organisms, and a full geochemical module capable of simulating pH, aqueous speciation (including metals), precipitation/dissolution reactions and sediment diagenesis. Configuration is flexible so that the modeller can focus on the processes of interest. CAEDYM has been applied to a variety of systems including wetlands, lakes/reservoirs, rivers, estuaries and the coastal ocean, and is currently coupled to three hydrodynamic drivers, including the 1D model DYRESM, the quasi 2D river-floodplain model, DYRIM, and the 3D model ELCOM. It also forms a part of the new Aquatic Real Time Management System (ARMS) being used by water utilities for real time decision support.
