BACWAVE, version: 1

General Overview


Logo

This report presents a general overview of the model BACWAVE , which is part of the Biogeochemistry Model Database BGC-MD. The underlying yaml file entry that contains all the information of the model was created by Holger Metzler (Orcid ID: 0000-0002-8239-1601) on 15/03/2016. The entry was processed by the python package bgc-md to produce symbolic output.

The model was originally described by Zelenev, van Bruggen, & Semenov (2000).

Input fluxes

\(S: BGF + ExuM\cdot e^{- ExuT\cdot t}\)

Output fluxes

\(X: -\frac{D_{max}\cdot K_{d}\cdot X\cdot\theta}{K_{d}\cdot\theta + S}\cdot\left(K_{r} - 1\right)\)
\(S: -\frac{S\cdot X\cdot\mu_{max}\cdot\left(Y - 1\right)}{Y\cdot\left(K_{s}\cdot\theta + S\right)}\)

Internal fluxes

\(X \rightarrow S: \frac{D_{max}\cdot K_{d}\cdot K_{r}\cdot X\cdot\theta}{K_{d}\cdot\theta + S}\)
\(S \rightarrow X: \frac{S\cdot X\cdot\mu_{max}}{K_{s}\cdot\theta + S}\)
