Thermal regime of ice covered Swedish lakes
(1996) In Nordic Hydrology 27. p.39-56- Abstract
- Temperature conditions and heat fluxes in ice covered lakes are discussed analyzing measurements in eight Swedish lakes. Heat fluxes from sediments and heat fluxes from water to ice are determined from temperature profiles. The contribution of solar radiation is estimated from heat-budget calculations. It is found that the heat content of most of the lakes changes very little when they are ice covered, but that the lake-water temperature slightly increases. All heat fluxes are small. The heat flux from the sediments is the highest flux in early winter, but is later in the winter balanced by the heat loss from the water to the underside of the ice. Solar radiation is an important heat source in late winter, when the snow cover is thin.
