Title: Comment on ‘Northern lake modeling: A literature review’ by Patricia M. Fox, Jacqueline D. La Perriere, and Robert F. Carlson
Abstract: have presented a comprehensive review of duction such as tertiary treatment, erosion control, land use northern lake modeling.The summary and conclusions section contains a description of several fundamental problems; specifically, three of these problems are motivating the present comments which are aimed at giving a different or further perspective to lake modeling:1. Most of the existing general lake models are deterministic: stochastic variability that may restrict the validity of the models is generally not recognized.We point out how this uncertainty can be codified.
