Under a Canadian Foundation for Climate and Atmospheric Sciences (CFCAS) project, targeted to study the feasibility to link regional climate models with lake models, one of the tasks was to consider such a coupling in large lakes. The objective is to provide detailed information on temperature and circulation distributions of the lake to take into account the spatial variability for temperature and the heat exchange through the water's surface. The major contribution of this work is focused on realistic representation of the heat fluxes and temperature distributions to and from lakes especially during the thermally stratified ice-free periods.

Policy-makers have the difficult task to intervene in a complex human-natural system. Therefore it is not enough to focus merely on the individual processes affecting a region, rather it is necessary to look at the system as a complex integral whole. Many authors have stressed the importance of integrated assessment and model integration, but only few have proposed concrete solutions for the integration of different sub-models and the use of the resulting integrated models in practice. In this paper an attempt is made to cover both topics by means of an example: the MedAction Policy Support System (PSS). This system, …

Integrated modelling of global environmental change impacts faces the challenge that knowledgefrom the domains of Natural and Social Science must be integrated. This is complicated by often incompatibleterminology and the fact that the interactions between subsystems are usually not fully understood at the startof the project. While a modular modelling approach is necessary to address these challenges, it is not sufficient.The remaining question is how the modelled system shall be cut down into modules. While no generic answercan be given to this question, communication tools can be provided to support the process of modularisationand integration. Along those lines of thought …
