International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software
The Cyanobacteria Assessment Network (CyAN) is a multi-agency (NASA, USGS, NOAA, and EPA) project and its mission supports the environmental management and public use of U.S. lakes and reservoirs by providing a capability of detecting and quantifying algal blooms using satellite data records and disseminating this information through CyAN, a mobile application developed and hosted by EPA. The app provides water quality managers with a user-friendly platform that reduces the complexities associated with accessing satellite data to allow fast, efficient, initial assessments across lakes and reservoirs. Data from the European Space Agency Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellite Ocean and Land Colour Instruments …
Simulating Toxicant Concentrations In Surface Waters And Sediments: Advances In The Water Quality Analysis Simulation Program (Wasp8), Christopher D. Knightes, Brian Avant, Yanlai Han, Richard Zepp, Dermont Bouchard, Brad Acrey, Tim Wool, Robert B. Ambrose Jr

International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software
Toxicant concentrations in surface waters and sediments are of environmental concern due to their potential impacts on ecological and human receptors. Numerical, process-based, mass balance models are one way to understand a system and its governing processes, assist in supporting management decisions, and evaluate different toxicant release scenarios. The US Environmental Protection Agency has developed and continues to improve the Water Quality Analysis Simulation Program (WASP), which is one of the more widely used water quality models in the US and the world. WASP is a modeling framework with which the user can develop a water quality model for nutrients …
Numerical Modeling On The Pollutant Effects In The Ecosystem Of Kamaishi Bay (Japan) By Coupling Mec And Ecopath Model, Dr. Md. Nazrul Islam, Dr. Daisuke Kitazawa
Numerical Modeling On The Pollutant Effects In The Ecosystem Of Kamaishi Bay (Japan) By Coupling Mec And Ecopath Model, Dr. Md. Nazrul Islam, Dr. Daisuke Kitazawa
International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software
A three dimensional Marine Environmental Committee (MEC) model was conducted to describe the specific circulation patterns of currents, temperature, and salinity driven by wind and tide forcing in Kamaishi Bay at Miyagi Prefecture in the Great East Japan. The major concern of this study is the diffusion of pollutants caused by 2011 Earthquake and Tsunami disaster impacts on marine ecosystem. In this study, we also simulate the changes of water quality and ecosystems structure from January 2009 to December 2012. The MEC model has been used to predict the distributions of various key water quality indicators and tide flow in …
