Lake Parameterizations for NWP and Climate Modeling Systems (e.g. Ljungemir et al. 1996, Goyette et al. 2000, Tsuang et al. 2001) One-layer models, complete mixing down to the bottom Neglect stratification  large errors in the surface temperature Turbulence closure models, multi-layer (finite-difference) Describe the lake thermocline better  expensive computationally A compromise between physical realism and computational economy is required A two layer-model with a parameterized vertical temperature structure

Schematic representation of the temperature profile in the mixed layer and in the thermocline Here, θ s (t) is the temperature of the mixed layer of depth h(t), and θ b (t) is the temperature at the lake bottom, z=h+Δh.

The Concept Put forward by Kitaigorodskii and Miropolsky (1970) to describe the temperature structure of the oceanic seasonal thermocline. The essence of the concept is that the temperature profile in the thermocline can be fairly accurately parameterised through a “universal” function of dimensionless depth, using the temperature difference across the thermocline, Δθ=θ s (t)-θ b (t), and its thickness, Δh, as appropriate scales of temperature and depth:

Dimensionless temperature profile in the lake thermocline. Curves show a polynomial approximation (Kirillin 2002).

Snow “Upper” ice Water Ground “Lower” ice U H,LE EsEs EaEa S Thermodynamics of shallow reservoir 1) One-dimensional approximation. 2) On the upper boundary: fluxes of momentum, sensible and latent heat, solar and long-wave radiation are calculated On the lower boundary: fluxes are prescribed 3) Water and ice: heat transport Snow and ground: heat- and moisture transport U – wind velocity H – sensible heat flux LE – latent heat flux S – shirt-wave radiation E a – incoming long-wave radiation E s – outgoing long-wave radiation

Mathematical formulation - for water and ice:, - heat conductivity - for snow : - temperature - liquid water - for ground : - temperature - liquid water - ice

Boundary Conditions - ice-water: - water phase changes - snow-ice - temperature and heat flux continuity - water-soil - temperature and heat flux continuity - maximal water content - lower ground boundary: zero heat- and moisture fluxes

Atmospheric forcing - air-water interface: - empirical formula for radiative fluxes - sensible and latent heat fluxes from the Monin-Obukhov similarity theory Routine observational data set on meteorological stations is used
