Description

MeEP

 

MeEP stands for Methane Emissions from Ponds and is a model for exactly that. MeEP was developed for small waterbodies in permafrost regions and accounts for freezing and thawing of both the water column and the sourrounding soil. MeEP includes the three main pathways of methane emission: diffusion, ebullition and plant-mediated transport. This version was tuned and set up to represent the polygonal tundra in the Lena River Delta, RU and is accompanying data for Rehder et al. (2023).
