IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE: LAKES AND STREAMS
Item #d93dec107
"Projected Global Climate Change Impact on Water Temperatures in Five
North Central U.S. Streams," H.G. Stefan (Dept. Civ. & Mineral Eng.,
Univ. Minnesota, Minneapolis MN 55414), B.A. Sinokrot, Clim. Change,
24(4), 353-381, Aug. 1993.
Model calculations for Minnesota streams predict a warming of freely flowing
river reaches by 2.4· to 4.7·C resulting from a CO2 doubling. These
temperature changes have consequences for survival and growth of fish.
Item #d93dec108
"Regional Water Temperature Characteristics of Lakes Subjected to
Climate Change," M. Hondzo (address above), H.G. Stefan, ibid.,
24(3), 187-211, July 1993.
A 1-D lake water quality model was validated and linked to GCM output.
Predicted changes for a doubled CO2 climate include earlier onset of
stratification and later overturn, and greater lake stability in spring and
summer.
Item #d93dec109
"Lake Water Quality Modeling for Projected Future Climate Scenarios,"
H.G. Stefan (address above), M. Hondzo, X. Fang, J. Environ. Qual., 22(3),
417-431, July-Sept. 1993.
Applies a model to wide ranges of lake classes in Minnesota and of
meteorological conditions. Differentiates lakes on a regional rather than on an
individual basis.
