Water Temperature Characteristics of Lakes Subjected to Climate Change

摘要

A deterministic, one dimensional, unsteady lake water temperature model wasmodified and validated to simulate the seasonal (spring to fall) temperature stratification structure over a wide range of lake morphometries, trophic and meteorological conditions. Model coefficients related to hypolimnetic eddy diffusivity, light attenuation, wind sheltering, and convective heat transfer were generalized using theoretical and empirical extensions.
