In this study, a large amount of lake monitoring data was collected and genetic programming, a machine learning technique based on natural selection, was used to search for a robust relationship between phosphorus concentration, wind speed and water temperature. No forms were specified before searching but a new prediction formula was obtained. The formula can provide acceptable simulation accuracy and a theoretical reference for water environment management in shallow lakes or reservoirs.

The northern Indian Ocean comprises two semienclosed basins: the Bay of Bengal (BoB) in the east and the Arabian Sea in the west (Figure 1a). The BoB stands out in the tropical Ocean because of the low sea surface salinity, which is attributed to substantial amount of freshwater from river discharges and excessive rainfall over evaporation (
