Abstract:
The evaporation regime of Lake Ladoga is specified using the renewed meteorological data. The traditional approach is supplemented with a new method of estimating the impact of shallow-water zones on the evaporation intensification worked out by G.N. Panin. The obtained results corroborate that the level of precipitation minus evaporation varies in different zones of the lake that can influence the water mass redistribution in the lake in certain seasons.
