[RegCNET] lake model

[Michael Notaro]

I have some general questions about the lake model in RegCM3.
In particular, relating to the Great Lakes.

Could someone email me the references to some papers that use the
lake model with regcm3?  I would like to see previous applications.

What dynamics does the lake model simulate?  Lake ice fluctuations?
Changes in lake level?

If the lake model is turned off, does the model assume climatological  
lake
temperatures or is the lake replaced by land?

Does anyone have experience running on NCAR's supercomputers?
How many processors do you use and how much do you run in the
6-hour wall clock limit?

Thanks, Mike
