The model allows great flexibility in the choice (a) of the time-discretization scheme, including the ability to handle each physical process differently, and (b) of strategies for the treatment of non-linear terms.}, url = {http://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/8070}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.6083/M4NP22KT}, }
