Lake Mendota long term water quality model

The data are associated with the following manuscript: Hanson, P. C., Ladwig, R., Buelo, C., Albright, E. A., Delany, A. D., & Carey, C. (2023). Legacy phosphorus and ecosystem memory control future water quality in a eutrophic lake. Lake water and ice observational data and lake bathymetry are from the North Temperate Lakes Long Term Ecological Research program. Brief abstract of the work: To investigate how water quality in Lake Mendota might respond to nutrient pollution reduction, we used computer models to simulate the elimination of phosphorus inputs from the catchment and track water quality change. The data herein are used to drive and calibrate the model. In addition, model code and simulation output are included as "other entities."
