The extinction coefficient ($`k_{d}`$) is depending on the amount of Total Particulate Matter (TPM) in the water that varies over the season (described by the [cosine function](Data#suspended-solids)). The extinction coefficient is calculated from the TPM concentration using a simplified version of the function that is used by Los and Wijsman (2007), based on Van Gils and Tatman (2003).
Los and Wijsman (2007) use the relation from Van Gils and Tatman (2003)

Where $`Flux_{i,j}`$ is the increase in concentration in compartment $`i`$ [mmol-N m<sup>-3</sup> d<sup>-1</sup>] due to the water exchange between compartment $`i`$ and $`j`$. $`Ex_{i,j}`$ is the exchange rate between compartment $`i`$ and $`j`$ [m<sup>3</sup> d<sup>-1</sup>]. $`C_{i}`$ and $`C_{j}`$ are the concentrations of the state variables in compartment $`i`$ and $`j`$ [mmol-N m<sup>-3</sup>], respectively. $`Vol_{i}`$ is the volume of compartment $`i`$ [m<sup>3</sup>].
