Short summary
We developed an autocalibration software for the hydrodynamic-ecological lake model DYRESM-CAEDYM with a massive number of water quality parameters, using a Monte Carlo sampling method, in order to reduce time-consuming iterative simulations with empirical judgements and find optimal model parameter set. The successful applications to Lake Rotorua suggest this software is much more efficient than traditional methods and of wide applicability to other water quality models.
