The following features characterize QUAL2K: --one dimensional (the channel is well-mixed vertically and laterally) --steady-state hydraulics (non-uniform, steady flow is simulated) --diurnal heat budget (the heat budget and temperature are simulated as a function of meteorology on a diurnal time scale) --diurnal water-quality kinetics (all water-quality variables are simulated on a diurnal time scale) --heat and mass inputs (point and nonpoint loads and abstractions are simulated).
The SHEBA ice camp To begin to shed light on the dimly understood Arctic ecosystems and food webs, I spent parts of 1997 and 1998 living in the SHEBA (Surface HEat Budget of the Arctic) ice camp, a major science encampment both on and in the ice in the part of the Arctic Ocean known as the Beaufort Sea.
