Abstract

The CLAMM model provides a simulation of the growth and movement of Microcystis, including temperature-correction of the main process rates; loss of colonies; net chlorophyll-a production; changes in colony size and wind induced lake mixing. This paper presents the results of the sensitivity analysis and trial application of the CLAMM model. Sensitivity analysis was undertaken using the complex 'general sensitivity analysis' procedure. Results indicate a high degree of interaction between model parameters with no single parameter appearing dominant. Application of the model to a lowland impoundment in Southern England for 1994 and 1995 produced results that compared reasonably well with field data.
