  2. Clear Lake (California) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clear_Lake_(California)

    Background and geology. Clear Lake is 19 mi (31 km) by 8 mi (13 km) at its widest point, with a surface area of 43,785 acres (17,719 ha) and a 1,155,000 acre⋅ft (1,425,000 dam 3) capacity. Average depth is 27 ft (8.2 m), maximum is 60 ft (18 m), lake elevation is 1,329 ft (405 m), and average water temperature is 40 °F (4 °C) in winter and ...

  3. Lake retention time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_retention_time

    The lake retention time for a body of water with the volume 2,000 m 3 (71,000 cu ft) and the exit flow of 100 m 3 /h (3,500 cu ft/h) is 20 hours.. Lake retention time (also called the residence time of lake water, or the water age or flushing time) is a calculated quantity expressing the mean time that water (or some dissolved substance) spends in a particular lake.

  4. Thermocline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermocline

    The temperature is nearly constant after 1500 meters depth. A thermocline (also known as the thermal layer or the metalimnion in lakes) is a distinct layer based on temperature within a large body of fluid (e.g. water, as in an ocean or lake; or air, e.g. an atmosphere) with a high gradient of distinct temperature differences associated with ...

  5. Lake Kivu - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Kivu

    An experimental vent pipe was installed at Lake Nyos in 2001 to remove gas from the deep water, but such a solution for the much larger Lake Kivu would be considerably more expensive. The approximately 510 million metric tons (500 × 10 ^ 6 long tons) of carbon dioxide in the lake is a little under 2 percent of the amount released annually by ...

  6. Lake stratification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_stratification

    Lake stratification is the tendency of lakes to form separate and distinct thermal layers during warm weather. Typically stratified lakes show three distinct layers: the epilimnion, comprising the top warm layer; the thermocline (or metalimnion), the middle layer, whose depth may change throughout the day; and the colder hypolimnion, extending to the floor of the lake.

  7. Stream gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stream_gauge

    A stream gauge, streamgage or stream gauging station is a location used by hydrologists or environmental scientists to monitor and test terrestrial bodies of water. Hydrometric measurements of water level surface elevation ("stage") and/or volumetric discharge (flow) are generally taken and observations of biota and water quality may also be made.

  8. Baker Lake (Washington) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baker_Lake_(Washington)

    4,800 acres (19 km 2) Water volume. 285,000 acre-feet (352,000,000 m 3) Surface elevation. 705 feet (215 m) Islands. 3, unnamed. Baker Lake is a lake in northern Washington state in the United States. [1] The lake is situated in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest and Baker River valley southwest of North Cascades National Park and is ...

  9. Lake Berryessa - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Berryessa

    Geography. The lake is over 20,000 acres (8,100 ha) when full. It is approximately 16 mi (25 km) long and 3.1 mi (5 km) wide. It has approximately 165 mi (265 km) miles of shoreline. Near the dam on the southeast side of the reservoir is an open bell-mouth spillway, 72 feet (22 m) in diameter, which is known as the Glory Hole. [3]
