Because the lakes have considerable dimensions, we sought climatic and glaciological data sources that were geographically close to the areas of the chosen SMOS L1С grid cells.…”

Abstract. The paper presents a theoretical analysis of seasonal brightness temperature variations at a number of large freshwater lakes -Baikal, Ladoga, Great Bear Lake (GBL), Great Slave Lake (GSL), and Huron -retrieved from Microwave Imaging Radiometer with Aperture Synthesis (MIRAS) data (1.4 GHz) of the Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) satellite. The analysis was performed using the model of microwave radiation of plane layered heterogeneous nonisothermal medium. The input 15 parameters for the model were real regional climatological characteristics and glaciological parameters of ice cover of the study lakes. Three distinct seasonal brightness temperature time regions corresponding to different phenological phases of the lake surfaces: complete ice cover, ice melt and deterioration, and open water, were revealed. The paper demonstrates the possibility to determine the beginning of ice cover deterioration from satellite microwave radiometry data. The obtained results can 20 be useful for setting the operating terms of winter crossings and roads on ice, since with the beginning of ice deterioration, these transportation routes across water bodies (rivers, lakes, water reservoirs) become insecure and cannot be used any more.

Trophic status of the largest freshwater lakes in the world

The problem of lake eutrophication has been a relevant challenge for more than a century. Eutrophication has presently affected not only small-sized and middle-sized lakes, but most of the largest lakes in the world as well. The most rapid eutrophication has occurred for shallow water bodies in both tropical and temperate latitudinal zones. These processes are intensified by consistently high temperatures in tropical lakes, which contribute to accelerated biological processes. The eutrophication processes in deep lakes that contain large water volumes have mostly local impacts and primarily affect the shallow water zones. The dynamics of trophic status changes for the largest lakes in the world are discussed in this study, considering changes in the total water volumes characterizing different trophic categories that occurred during the period from 1950 to 2010. As the largest lakes are the most important reserves of surface fresh water on our planet, it is very important to have an understanding of the quality changes taking place in regard to this important water resource.
