Abstract
At present, there are no quantitative estimates of the mean climatic annual course of bottom temperature parameters in Lake Ladoga that allow us to judge their interannual variations. A phenomenological model of the mean climatic annual variability of the Lake Ladoga bottom temperature depending on the depth of the limnic region is proposed. Based on analysis of a large array of temperature measurements for a century period, characteristic temperatures and dates of seasonal occurrence and dissipation of vertical stratification during the year in connection with variations in bottom temperature are determined. The dispersion and rate of change of near-bottom temperatures in different seasons were estimated.
Starting from a depth of 100 m, there are very small variations of the bottom temperature in Lake Ladoga during the summer period. In the winter season, these fluctuations are about 1.5 °C and largely depend on the date of occurrence and duration of the open water period of the water area and the intensity of vertical and horizontal convection. These indices can serve as a baseline for evaluating the response of real measured or modeled thermal parameters of Lake Ladoga to climate variations, as well as for comparison with other dimictic lakes of the world. The created empirical dependences of the near bottom temperature change on the floor depth for an average climatic year with ice cover and a warm year (with incomplete ice cover) has prognostic value.
