description: The atmosphere-marine/lake system (AMS) modelling is an efficient way of formalizing and testing knowledge about the complex hydrodynamic-ecological systems (HES) and of solving the problem of how the rational management of aquatic resources should be organized. The AMS involves multitude of physical, chemical and biological processes on the global as well as local scale. Microclimatic air-sea interaction controls local biogeochemical impacts under any global change scenario. The study is aimed at the AMS simulations in order to predict the different environmental disturbances and to mitigate their possible catastrophic consequences in the Baltic Sea and Estonian large lakes. The air pollution transport model HILATAR linked with the operational weather forecast model HIRLAM will be linked on-line/off-line to the HES model FRESCO to compose the operational forecasting system for the end-users.Further, it is planned to link to the FRESCO model also the modules for economics and management.
