Explore the iterative steps involved in model development, from developing scenarios and comparing loading pathways to updating land use and integrating point sources. Learn how to adjust parameters, couple to EFDC, and apply climate change considerations until reaching desired targets. The process involves translating model outputs, verifying results, and incorporating atmospheric feedback. Stop only when the model achieves the set objectives, ensuring accuracy through evaluation.
