Abstract

An explicit turbulent mass transport term is added to a phosphorus budget model to make it applicable to completely mixed water bodies with open boundaries; an application to Saginaw Bay demonstrates the importance of this modification. A method is devised to incorporate turbulent diffusion into loading plots by adjusting the loading term to include the flux of phosphorus from the main lake into the bay and including the effect of turbulent flow in the residence time.
