4 What is ESTAS? ESTAS is a computer program implemented in FORTRAN. It is an open source program. It is free for everybody. Works in sub-daily temporal resolution for years or even decades. How does ESTAS simulate water quality and Aquatic Ecology? ESTAS Model Inputs Geometry Flow field Settling field Meteorology User defined time series Ecology and Water Quality Kinetics Specific Inputs ESTAS SIMULATION ENGINE TRANSOPORT Advection Diffusion Settling of solids ECOLOGY and WATER QUALITY KINETICS SOLVER ESTAS Model Results
5 ESTAS ESTAS Model Inputs Geometry Flow field Settling field Meteorology User defined time series Ecology and Water Quality Kinetics Specific Inputs ALUKAS ESTAS SIMULATION ENGINE TRANSOPORT Advection Diffusion Settling of solids SOLVER ECOLOGY and WATER QUALITY KINETICS ESTAS Model Results What is ALUKAS? Advanced Level nutrient Kinetics for Aquatic ecosystems A pelagic NPZD (Nutrient, Phytoplankton, Zooplankton, Detritus) model for water quality kinetics and ecological modelling. Is a module that can be integrated to ESTAS and other transport models. 5

8 Results that can be obtained with ESTAS/ALUKAS Temporal variation of water quality and ecological variable for each box Temporal variation of each process simulated by ALUKAS for each box Additional information (such as driving variables) for higher level food web calculations/models Which Questions Could Be Answered with ESTAS/ALUKAS? Response of Water Quality (Nutrients, Organic Matter and Dissolved Oxygen) to external forcing Trophic status of aquatic ecosystems and nutrient criteria development Internal response of aquatic ecosystems (such as change in the primary production, accumulation of autochthonous organic matter, etc.) to external forcing Changes in plankton group composition The limiting factor for eutrophication (nutrients, etc.) 8
