text: Model ensembles have several benefits compared to single-model applications
but are not frequently used within the lake modelling community. Setting up and
running multiple lake models can be challenging and time consuming, despite the
many similarities between the existing models (forcing data, hypsograph, etc.).
Here we present an R package, LakeEnsemblR, that facilitates running ensembles
of five different vertical one-dimensional hydrodynamic lake models (FLake, GLM,
GOTM, Simstrat, MyLake). The package requires input in a standardised format and
a single configuration file. LakeEnsemblR formats these files to the input required
by each model, and provides functions to run and calibrate the models. The outputs
of the different models are compiled into a single file, and several post-processing
operations are supported. LakeEnsemblR's workflow standardisation can simplify
model benchmarking and uncertainty quantification, and improve collaborations
between scientists. We showcase the successful application of LakeEnsemblR for
two different lakes.

text: The modelling community has identified challenges for the integration and
assessment of lake models due to the diversity of modelling approaches and lakes.
In this study, we develop and assess a one-dimensional lake model and apply it
to 32 lakes from a global observatory network. The data set included lakes over
broad ranges in latitude, climatic zones, size, residence time, mixing regime
and trophic level. Model performance was evaluated using several error assessment
metrics, and a sensitivity analysis was conducted for nine parameters that governed
the surface heat exchange and mixing efficiency. There was low correlation between
input data uncertainty and model performance and predictions of temperature were
less sensitive to model parameters than prediction of thermocline depth and Schmidt
stability. The study provides guidance to where the general model approach and
associated assumptions work, and cases where adjustments to model parameterisations
and/or structure are required.
