Abstract
This paper introduces the web application-type Graphical User Interface that has been developed and also presents an application example. The introduced simulator conducts hydrodynamics and ecosystems in coastal and estuarine areas. It consists of (1) a hydrodynamic model that can simulate the current velocity, water temperature, salinity, and water level; (2) an ecosystem model that can simulate dissolved oxygen, phytoplankton, zooplankton, nutrients, fish, and bivalves; and (3) a benthic ecosystem model that can simulate elution. Web GUI is the first web system of aquatic environment simulation system that can both prepare calculation conditions and visualize them. Another significant feature is that it requires no installation and can be easily used by anyone to perform calculations. Thus, the proposed system helps fill the expertise gap experienced by potential users of the model. The use of standard systems, such as those discussed in this study, will facilitate evidence-based policymaking (EBPM).
期刊介绍:
Environmental Modelling & Software publishes contributions, in the form of research articles, reviews and short communications, on recent advances in environmental modelling and/or software. The aim is to improve our capacity to represent, understand, predict or manage the behaviour of environmental systems at all practical scales, and to communicate those improvements to a wide scientific and professional audience.
