“…Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code (EFDC) has been widely applied, with study areas including Lake Poyang [5,13,22,23], Lake Tai [24], Lake Chaohu [25,26], Lake Dianchi [27], Lake Fuxian [28], Lake Daoxiang [29], the Changtan Reservoir [30], the Shenzhen Reservoir [31], Morro Bay [32], Kwang-Yang Bay [32], Blackstone River [33], and the St. Lucie Estuary [34]. MIKE SHE is another physically distributed modelling system that has been adopted in many water bodies, including Lake Poyang [35][36][37], Lake Yangchen [38], Lake Trichonis [39], the Karup catchment [40], the Florida Everglades [41,42], the Faroe-Shetland Channel [43], and the Senegal River Basin [44]. In addition, a 2D lake hydrodynamic model developed by Huang et al [45], has been successfully applied in Lake Poyang and Lake Tai for short-time forecasting.…”
