Modeling biophysical controls on hypoxia in a shallow estuary using a Bayesian mechanistic approach

Environmental Modelling & Software, 7.

By: A. Katin n, D. Giudice n & D. Obenour n

author keywords: Hypoxia; Dissolved oxygen modeling; Bayesian inference; Neuse River estuary; Stratification; Oxygen demand
TL;DR: Results indicate that the bottom layer dissolved oxygen (BLDO) concentration in the Neuse River Estuary is more responsive to nutrient loading reductions than previously thought, though it may take multiple years to produce measurable declines in hypoxia due to hydro-meteorological variability.
