One of the most important and interesting characteristics of a lake is its thermal structure. The heat content of a body of water is of vital importance in limnology. The metabolism, physiology, and behavior of aquatic organisms are related directly to the temperature of the aquatic environment. Extreme temperatures restrict the growth and distribution

Upper Ocean Heat And Freshwater Budgets
2001The surface layer of the ocean undergoes temperature variations which occur at several different temporal scales: a diurnal cycle reSecting day and night variability, an annual cycle showing seasonal variations in insolation and weather, and interannual to decadal cycles, indicating large-scale, long-term climate variability.

ARCTIC, 1969
Since the Apr 1957 occupation of the first long-term US drifting station on sea ice, much has been learned about the properties of sea ice as a material. Properties of large, composite sheets of natural sea ice are still to be defined, however, because of the need for accurate knowledge of strength, roughness and albedo, among other parameters.

The heat budget of a lake can best be described as its integrated, thermal response to its external physical climate. Unlike oceans where large-scale advective processes play a major role in the heat exchange processes, lakes are individual entities, each responding slightly differently to its external climate.

Net radiation at the upper boundary of the planet Earth amounts to a heat gain in the tropics and a loss in higher latitudes. Redistribution of energy over the continents takes place exclusively in the atmosphere, whereas in the realm of the vast tropical oceans both atmosphere and hydrosphere cooperate in the heat export to other parts of the globe ...

Development of the Heat Budget Concept
Yearbook of the Association of Pacific Coast Geographers, 1968T_Teat budgeting has come into prominence in geography and climatology only since World War II. Earlier, it appeared chiefly in the superficial diagrams of the planetary heat balance re printed in the opening section of textbooks, which usually show the budget of energy at the surface of the earth incompletely if at all. Casting the accounts of energy,

The long-term mean (31-year mean) surface heat fluxes over the Japan Sea are estimated by the bulk method using the most of the available vessel data with the resolution of 1o×1o. The long-term annual mean net heat flux is about −53 W m−2 (negative sign means upward heat flux) with the annual range from 133 W m−2 in May to −296 W m−2 in December.

Helium Loss, Tectonics, and the Terrestrial Heat Budget
Science, 1987It has been known for the last decade that primordial helium incorporated in Earth at the time of its formation is still being degassed during the formation of new ocean crust at spreading ocean ridges. It is now clear that somewhat contrary to expectation, substantial degassing is also taking place through the continental crust.

In this chapter we will discuss the distribution of temperature in an ice sheet. This topic deserves attention because the rate of deformation depends strongly on temperature. Moreover, the presence of basal water can lead to sliding. Melt water then acts as lubricator and the horizontal ice—mass discharge may increase dramatically.

Numerical modelling of the thermospheric heat budget
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 1982Numerical models of the thermal budget of the earth's upper atmosphere in the height range of 90–500 km are developed. The main sources and sinks of energy, including infrared radiative cooling in vibrational‐rotational bands of NO, CO2, OH, and O3 as well as heating and cooling arising from dissipation of turbulent energy and eddy heat transport, are ...
