EBASE vs Odum metabolism estimates

Summary

The following shows results comparing metabolic estimates obtained from the EBASE and Odum models. The EBASE model was run using the EBASE R packages and the Odum model was run using the ecometab function from the WtRegDO R package.

All models were run using the observed dissolved oxygen time series for data from 2012 at Apalachicola NERR. The EBASE model was set to optimize the parameter equation over a seven day period. Both models used the Wanninkhof equation to estimate the gas exchange. The source code used to create the models and all figures below is in the link above.

Results

Continuous time series of gas exchange comparing results from the EBASE and Odum models. Each panel is one month.

A direct comparison of gas exchange estimates from the EBASE and Odum models. The 1:1 line is dotted and the regression line is solid. The R-squared values for each regression are shown at the top next to the month.

Continuous time series of all metabolic parameters from the EBASE and Odum models. Each point is a weekly average of all continuous estimates. The R-squared values for the regressions between results for each model are shown at the top next to the parameter labels.

Hourly estimates of all metabolic parameters from the EBASE and Odum models, separated by seasonal quarter and parameter.
