Variability of the horizontal gradients of the air and the water surface temperatures in the vernal frontal zone period of Lake Ladoga

Effect of climate warming on a change in thermal and ice conditions in the largest lake in Poland – Lake Śniardwy

“…Detailed investigation of the course of variability of water temperature and ice phenomena occurring in lakes is therefore important for many reasons (Ptak, 2013b). That is why it is an extensively discussed research problem (Choiński et al, 2015a, b;Huang et al, 2019;Naumenko et al, 2012;Piccolroaz et al, 2019;Ptak et al, 2017Ptak et al, , 2018. The issue gains particular importance in the context of the observed global warming.…”

Fate of nutrients and trace contaminants in a large shallow soda lake. Spatial gradients and underlying processes from the tributary river to the reed belt

“…6,7 While most shallow lakes usually lack stable vertical gradients due to their polymictic character, they can show pronounced horizontal differences in chemistry and sediment composition due to wind action and sheltering effects in the littoral zone. [8][9][10][11] Such spatial differences, combined with pronounced short-term temporal variability, represent a challenge for monitoring impacts of external pressures on hydrochemistry and biology. This is also true for Lake Neusiedl, the largest endorheic lake in Central Europe.…”

A Persistent Submesoscale Frontal Slick: A Novel Marker of the Mesoscale Flow Field in a Large Lake (Lake Geneva)

“…They can also develop within strongly sheared currents in the open ocean, where mesoscale straining sharpens preexisting density gradients, also referred to as frontogenesis (Gula et al., 2014; McWilliams, 2021). Although their significance in the transport of energy and material in oceans is recognized (Choi et al., 2020; McWilliams, 2016), front studies in lakes are rare, and are mainly limited to thermal bars observed in the nearshore zone during spring and fall (Fichot et al., 2019; Naumenko et al., 2012).…”
