Setup PIHM for North Temperate Lakes

Plans for how to integrate lakes with PIHM, progressively more complex:

  1. Constant lake level
  2. Time variable boundary conditions (weakly coupled lake model)
  3. Sequential coupling (2 way with lake) (help from Gopal?)

Other properties for initial runs:

  • 30 year simulation period (1979-2009)
  • Use 40 m deep land surface. (Aquifer consists of 40 to 60 m of unconsolidated Pleistocene glacial deposits, mostly glacial outwash sands and gravel. Horizontal hydraulic conductivities are estimated to be ~10 m/day Pint et al 2003).
  • Start with uniform soils
  • Use single atmospheric data set for entire domain. Two options, hydroterre forcing data or NTL data.
  • Define dirichlet boundary condition (fixed as constant head) for all lakes in the catchment. Start with median lake levels. Can then implement time variable from GLM.
  • No lake ice for now
  • Inlet boundary condition for riv file?
