Advanced Lake Biogeochemistry Model

Advanced Lake Biogeochemistry Model (ALBM) is a one-dimensional process-based lake biogeochemistry model that was developed by Zeli Tan to predict the response of lake thermal and carbon dynamics and water quality to environmental changes (Tan et al., 2015, 2017, 2018). It consists of several modules including those for the radiative transfer, the water/sediment thermal circulation, the water/sediment biogeochemistry, phytoplankton biomass, and the gas diffusive and ebullition transportation. Although the model was originally developed for Arctic lakes (Tan et al., 2015), it has since been used for lakes in diverse environments (Guseva et al., 2020; Guo et al., 2020, 2021). ALBM is a member model of the Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project (ISIMIP) lake sector (https://www.isimip.org/impactmodels/details/232/). Please find the model use guidence in ALBM User Manual.pdf. Input data are available from https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.22635064. The new CH4 model code is available at https://github.com/tanzeli1982/ALBM/tree/CH4_new (Tan et al., 2024).
