Abstract
Lake Erie has been negatively impacted by multiple stressors, including nutrient enrichment and climate change, that have exacerbated eutrophication and harmful algal blooms. Management of these long-term water quality problems requires numerical models that can be run over years to decades. The three-dimensional hydrodynamics and biogeochemistry models applied to date, however, have not been tested for continuous runs longer than one year and have not been shown to accurately reproduce seasonal variation in phytoplankton species composition (e.g., the development of harmful algal blooms) over decadal timescales. We simulated the three-dimensional nutrient and phytoplankton concentrations in western Lake Erie continuously from 2002 to 2014. Using a single parameter set, we were able to reproduce both seasonal and inter-annual variation in phytoplankton species composition. The model qualitatively reproduced the observed seasonal succession (i.e., variation in phytoplankton species composition), including the spring diatom bloom and late summer cyanobacterial growth. This study demonstrates that three-dimensional models can be applied for multi-year simulations of nutrients and phytoplankton to inform large lake research and management.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
