Abstract

Abstract We applied a three‐dimensional biophysical model to Lake Michigan for the years 2000, 2005, and 2010 to consider the mechanisms controlling spatial and temporal patterns of phytoplankton abundance (chlorophyll a ) and lake‐wide productivity. Model skill was assessed by comparison to satelli...
