Skype Mtg #1 (12/30/14)

Attendees: Tom H, Kevin R, Stuart J, Hilary D

Summary - At G16, we decided to attempt to develop and use an Age of Carbon approach based on Duffy (2012), and use it to explore lake metabolism-catchment connections. In this Skype meeting, we revisited the method and Tom noted some good papers to read for people who want to come up to speed on the approach (posted below). Then, we discussed our approach to exploring the solution space of the "age" models we plan to develop.

The method is based on moment analysis, and results in relatively simple expressions (mathematically) for quantifying the age of water in idealized watersheds. Although Duffy (2012) opens the door to reactive transport, he stuck mainly with the age of water or conservative tracers. We decided to try to (1) reproduce the first two cases in Duffy (2012) and (2) extend the analysis to include 1st order decay of organic carbon constituents. The two cases involve a simplistic watershed characterized by a volume V and flow Q, and a similar buy slightly more complex ideal watershed characterized by a mobile (Vm) and immobile (Vim) volumes--we decided that his might be one level of complexity that would be interesting to explore. Stuart and Tom are starting to work on the equations and Stuart (post-meeting) has some luck getting started with developing the solutions in Mathematica). Eventually, we may wish to develop r-scripts.

In terms of the solutions space, we discussed a broad approach associated with exploring key lake-catchment parameters. Kevin suggested the Wisconsin LTER lakes as a good set of lakes because they have long-term data on both the lakes and the catchments, and there is a reasonably good variety between Northern and Southern Wisconsin in terms of land use, vegetation, soils and geology. We decided to go with this suggestion and Kevin is getting some data organized. --Tom Harmon (talk) 12:23, 7 January 2015 (PST)

Post-Skype Mtg #1 Development

Paul requested the Mathematica scripts from Chris Duffy, and Chris is happy to help. Chris requested that Tom and Gopal sit in on their (Paul, Chris and Yolanda Gil) Organic Data Science project meeting. This will be an opportunity to learn a little more about Chris's analysis and we can fill him in on our proposed approach (and get some good feedback!). --Tom Harmon (talk) 12:23, 7 January 2015 (PST) _________________________________________________________________________
