Abstract

A study to develop a simple 1-D atmosphere/water model to simulate the behavior of the diurnal water temperature cycle in natural shallow water was discussed. Another objective of the study was to execute outdoor experiments to estimate the various model parameters and to verify the model for different atmospheric conditions and water pools. The 1-D model was based on the energy budget where the main force during daytime was the incoming short wave radiation. The results show that the model simulations were very sensitive to the short wave radiation extinction coefficient of the water.
