Measurable Properties of Light
• Intensity• Quality
Both are dependent on absorption and reflection by the atmosphere

Walker Lake

Extinction Coefficient
ν (nu) = extinction coefficient of light through water.
Examples:• Crystal Lake v = 0.19• Turbid Pond v = 1 – 10• Muddy Stock Tank
v = >>10-150
• Depends on:• Light absorption by
water• Light scattered and
absorbed by particles• Light absorbed by
dissolved substances• v ~ 1/secci depth

Typical Secci Depths• Crater Lake 40m• Castle Lake 33m• Lake Texoma 0.75m• Susquehanna River
– West Shore >1.2m– West Center 0.32m– East Center 0.23m– East Shore 0.18m
• Secci Depth measured with Secci Disk in lakes and with a Secci Tube in running water.
• Also measured with Turbidimeter (Jackson Turbidity Units- JTU)

Heat Budget for LakesSources• Solar radiation• Sensible heat
conduction• Stream Input• Sediment absorption
of sunlight• Geothermal• Biogenic
Sinks• Evaporation• Sensible heat
conduction• Back radiation from
lake surface• Stream inputs (snow
melt)• Surface outflow

Annual Lake Heat Budget
where S = storage rate of heat in the lakeRn = net radiationE = evaporationH = sensible heat transfer, conductionQ = advective heat transfers due to water
inflows and outflows
S = Rn – E – H – Q

Lake Classification Based on Thermal Stratification Patterns
1. Holomixisa. monomictic – mixes once per year
• warm monomictic – never below 4°C• cold monomictic – never above 4°C• ex: Lake Tahoe
- large volume and large depth- no winter ice cover
![Page 23: LIGHT & HEAT](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062813/568164a8550346895dd6a0b6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Fall turnover occurs when the center of gravity (M) approaches the center of the volume (X).

b. dimictic – mixes twice per year• ex: Castle Lake and Lake Mendota
small temperate lake freezes over during winter
c. amictic – does not mix, permanently ice-covered• ex: Lake Vanda, Antarctic
high latitude lake
