EBASE optimization length evaluation
This analysis evaluates different model optimization lengths for EBASE for two separate two-week periods of an observed dissolved oxygen time series at Apalachicola Bay. A summer and winter period were evaluated and model optimization periods of 1 day up to 14 days (increasing by 1 day for each model) for each two week period were evaluated. Model outputs shown include dissolved oxygen, production (Pg), respiration (Rt), gas exchange (D), model parameter a, and model parameter b.
The optimized model is:
\[ \frac{\delta{C_d}}{\delta{t}} = [\,aPAR]\, - [\,r]\, - \frac{1}{H}\left[-bU_{10}^2\left(\frac{s_c}{600} \right)^{-0.5} \left(C_{Sat} - C_d \right )\right] \]
