| Abstract: | A steady-state, two-dimensional numerical model is used to simulate air temperatures and humidity downwind of a lake at night.
Thermal effects of the lake were modelled for the case of moderate and low surface winds under the cold-air advective conditions
that occur following the passage of a cold front. Surface temperatures were found to be in good agreement with observations.
A comparison of model results with thermal imagery indicated the model successfully predicts the downwind distance for which
thermal effects due to the lake are significant. |
