| Zusammenfassung |
| Under a Canadian Foundation for Climate and Atmospheric Sciences (CFCAS) project, targeted to
study the feasibility to link regional climate models with lake models, one of the tasks was to consider such a
coupling in large lakes. The objective is to provide detailed information on temperature and circulation
distributions of the lake to take into account the spatial variability for temperature and the heat exchange
through the water's surface. The major contribution of this work is focused on realistic representation of the
heat fluxes and temperature distributions to and from lakes especially during the thermally stratified ice-free
periods. This paper presents the detailed 3-D ELCOM model applied in Lake Erie in order to produce, at the
surface layer of the lake, the spatial distribution of temperature and heat exchanges that eventually can be
coupled with a regional climate model (CRCM). Preliminary results will be presented on how this lake model
may improve the regional climate models, which currently do not consider such large lake circulation effects. |
