Abstract
Selected concepts from the ANSWERS model were used to facilitate a linkage between laboratory and field data from cool season soil erosion research in Prince Edward Island (PEI). ANSWERS was split into three sequential programs and was substantially revised to facilitate extended periods of winter modelling and to accommodate crop-by-field input, element sequencing, and perennial streamflow. Based on laboratory and field rainfall simulator data, the sediment algorithm was revised. Due to the substantial modifications and a change in emphasis, the new model has been designated COSSEM (COol Season Soil Erosion Model). Sample simulations using COSSEM are presented for laboratory and field rainfall simulator runs and for spring runoff from a combined rainfall and snowmelt event on a USLE erosion plot and an adjacent monitored 140 ha catchment which is commercially farmed. The simulations showed that COSSEM can link laboratory and field data.
