Hello, I have an algae nutrient model calibrated in qual2k version 2 and am trying to convert it to version 3 but I seem to be having trouble. I suspect part of the problem is the units. I need to convert max growth units and the units related to algae uptake rates.
I have tried how I think it should be done, and it doesn't seem to be working. My nutrients are too high and algae growth is too low. Again, this was performing well in version 2
Does anyone have any suggestions for this?
or does anyone else have suggestions for differences between the two versions that might result in different model output.
Thanks for any help
Examples-how to convert
max growth mg A/m2/d to gC/m2 d
nutrient uptake mg N/mgA to mgN/gC
Thank you!
