ICECREAMDB

Last changed: 16 March 2023

ICECREAM is a simulation model for predicting phosphorus leaching from arable land. ICECREAM is based on the CREAMS model developed in the U.S. and further developed in Finland and Sweden.

ICECREAM estimates the losses of particulate and soluble phosphorus in surface run-off and drainage pipes for individual fields and with daily resolution. For large scale applications the ICECREAMDB model is used, which can be described as a shell around ICECREAM to deal with input, results and manage model runs.

The calculated type-specific concentrations of phosphorus can be downloaded on our Result pages.
