  • Description:
    In Lake Champlain, hydrodynamic models have been developed and utilized for a variety of purposes. This document summarizes early modeling efforts focused on Lake Champlain and describes five hydrodynamic models used to describe the hydrodynamics of the lake. Hydrodyna​mic models have improved our understanding of lake dynamics; however, further research and modeling efforts are needed both to increase the accuracy of the models and to serve natural resource mangers’ and policy- makers' science-based information needs. Modelers indicate that the following critical gaps in knowledge and information in the Lake Champlain basin must be addressed: Observations of incoming solar radiation; Additional wind measurement sites over and within Lake Champlain; Siting of meteorological stationsInclusi​on of river temperature measurements at all gauging stations; Improved lake bottom bathymetry data, such as in-lake LiDAR; and Better characterizatio​n of the river and Champlain Canal discharge into the South Lake.
