Abstract
Lakes are warming up globally with the recent climate warming. The effect of the warming on the ecosystems in the lakes depends on the impact on the physics of the lakes. The proposed research investigates the changes since 1980 in energy fluxes leaving and entering lakes in various climatic settings and the relation of these changes with regional meteorology. Implications for aquatic ecosystems will be determined.
