Calibration and verification of the Lake salinity model.

The available period of input data was divided in two and the model was calibrated on the second half and verified on the first half.

Figures 16 and 17 are graphs of the salinity in Catalina Bay and North Lake during the calibration period.

Figure 17: Salinity in North Lake during calibration period

The salinity gradient from the north to the south of the lake is important ecologically. Figure 18 displays the gradient during the calibration period.
