Cross-Evaluation of the Canadian Regional Climate Model (CRCM) and Lake Thermal Models using Observations and Objective Analysis (2002-05)
Large lakes are important agents in influencing the circulation of the atmosphere. Canada has a significant proportion of the world’s large lakes. Little is known of the heat and mass transfers and thermal regimes of these large deep lakes.
The project will advance knowledge of the effects of Canada’s lakes on regional climate and vice versa. Lake models will be linked with atmospheric models for better prediction of future effects on the health of our lakes, both in water quantity and quality. The accuracy of these models will be evaluated.
