Lake Water Body in the Ice Season
Seasonally freezing lakes cool in the autumn and start to freeze from the shore areas. The period of
freeze-up is short in small or shallow lakes, but in large or deep lakes the freeze-up can take
time and full ice coverage is not necessarily reached. Melting of ice begins from the near-shore areas.
The presence of ice introduces major changes into the lake-atmosphere interaction as compared with
the open water season.
