  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.
