Abstract
The intent of Guide to Process Based Modeling of Lakes and Coastal Seas is to introduce its readers to the subject and provide them with a basic scientific understanding of and tools needed for aquatic studies. The book encourages the reader to solve geophysical problems using a systematic, process based approach. This approach divides the water body studied into dynamically relevant parts or natural sub-basins and identifies the major processes involved in the water body. Based on field observations and simplifications, the dynamics of the water body is then expressed mathematically and tested carefully against relevant analytical solutions, extremes, and observations.
