     Linear inverse model specification for the Westerschelde
     Intertidal flat food web in June

     as in Van Oevelen et al. (2006).

     The Westerschelde is a highly eutrophic estuary in the
     Netherlands.

     The food web model was created for the intertidal flat called the
     "Molenplaat", site 2.

     It is the basic input model.

     The foodweb comprises 7 functional compartments and five external
     compartments, connected with 32 flows.

     Units of the flows are mg C/m2/day

     The linear inverse model LIMScheldtIntertidal is generated from
     the file 'ScheldtIntertidal.input ' which can be found in
     subdirectory '/examples/FoodWeb' of the package directory

     In this subdirectory you will find many foodweb example input
     files

     These files can be read using 'Read' and their output processed by
     'Setup' which will produce a linear inverse problem specification
     similar to LIMScheldtIntertidal

     a list of matrices, vectors, names and values that specify the
     linear inverse model problem.

     see the return value of 'Setup' for more information about this
     list
