The analytics described above give us insight into how a highly trivialised version of the lake works. Hence all conclusions drawn from these formulae must be tested first on a more complete model of the physical system.
The full lake salinity model program includes :-
While the conclusions one can draw must be conditional on whether they still work in the full model, it is notable that the full model provided no ``surprises''. In other words, the insights gained from these simple analytics, in retrospect, hold true for the highly complex full model.
Thus I deem the effort in preparing these analytics, and your efforts in reading, will bear fruit in deeper understanding of the lake.
