This new edition of Guide to Process Based Modeling of Lakes and Coastal Seas brings the
modeling up to date taking into account multiple stressors acting on aquatic systems. The
combination of acidification and increasing amounts of anoxic waters associated with
eutrophication puts severe stress on the marine environment. The detection and attribution of
anthropogenic changes in coastal seas are therefore crucial and transparent modeling tools are
increasingly important. Modeling the marine CO2¿O2 system makes systematic studies on climate
change and eutrophication possible and is fundamental for understanding the Earth system. This
second edition also includes new sections on detection and attribution and on modeling future
changes as well as improved exercises updated software and datasets. This unique book will
stimulate students and researchers to develop their modeling skills and make model codes and
data transparent to other research groups. It uses the general equation solver PROBE to
introduce process-oriented numerical modeling and to build understanding of the subject step by
step. The equation solver has been used in many applications particularly in Sweden and
Finland with their numerous lakes archipelago seas fjords and coastal zones. It has also
been used for process studies in the Polar Seas and the Mediterranean Sea and the approach is
suitable for applications in many other environmental applications. Guide to Process Based
Modeling of Lakes and Coastal Seas: ¿ is a unique teaching tool for systematic learning of
aquatic modeling ¿ approaches lake and ocean modeling from a new angle ¿ introduces aquatic
numerical modeling using a process-based approach ¿ enables the thorough understanding of the
physics and biogeochemistry of lakes and coastal seas ¿ provides software datasets and
algorithms needed to reproduce all calculations and results in the book ¿ provides a number of
creative and stimulating exercises with solutions ¿ addresses the interaction between climate
change and eutrophication and is a good basis for learning Earth System Sciences.
