Temperature Gradient Daily Dynamics Area and Time Zoning for Local Analysis of Air-Water Interaction

Abstract

This article describes the results of the application of time zoning for air-water thermal interaction, and the temperature gradient daily dynamics area (TGDDA) parameters at six locations with different ecological conditions. The research locations consisted of two locations in lakes, two locations in coastal waters which were affected by fresh water and two locations in coastal waters which were not affected by fresh water. Measurement of air and water temperature was carried out in situ at several vertical positions with logarithmic distances to the water surface. The results of the analysis show that the analysis and modeling of the TGDDA parameters produce the time zoning of thermal interaction and TGDDA that vary between research locations. Repeated measurements on two consecutive days at the same location, resulted in almost the same TGDDA and time zoning duration of air-water thermal interaction. These results suggest that these parameters can be used to characterize air-water interactions. The results of this study serve as references to the chemical analysis of water and biota which is interactive or influenced by the dynamics of air-water thermal interactions.
