Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-006846

The temperature of the uppermost layer of water in a lake, typically measured within the first few centimeters of the surface. This temperature is influenced by solar radiation, air temperature, wind mixing, and heat exchange with the atmosphere. It is a key indicator of lake health and can impact aquatic ecosystems and local weather patterns.
