Seasonal Temperature Variations and Water Properties in Stratified Lakes

This study examines the seasonal temperature changes in lakes during spring, summer, fall, and winter. It analyzes temperature at various depths (epilimnion, metalimnion, hypolimnion) and correlates them with density and surface tension measurements. The data provides insights into the stratification processes in freshwater ecosystems, distinguishing between eutrophic, oligotrophic, and dystrophic lake types based on their thermal and physical properties. Understanding these variations is crucial for ecological monitoring and management.
