  2. Bass Lake (Madera County, California) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bass_Lake_(Madera_County...

    Bass Lake supports a vibrant tourism industry. [48] By the 1950s, the lake was already attracting over half a million visitors every year. [49] The lake's water temperature typically reaches 80 °F (27 °C) during the summer, making it an ideal spot for a host of water activities, including fishing, swimming, water skiing, and boating. In ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. Bass Lake, California - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bass_Lake,_California

    Bass Lake, California. Bass Lake is a census-designated place [4] in Madera County, California, United States. [2] It is located 4.5 miles (7.2 km) southeast of Yosemite Forks, [5] at an elevation of 3,415 feet (1,041 m). [2] The population was 575 at the 2020 census. [1]

  5. Mesoscale convective system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesoscale_convective_system

    In order for lake-effect rain or snow to form, the air moving across the lake must be significantly cooler than the surface air (which is likely to be near the temperature of the water surface). Specifically, the air temperature at the altitude where the air pressure is 850 millibars (or 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) altitude) should be 13 °C (24 ...

  6. Sea surface temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_surface_temperature

    Sea surface temperature (SST), or ocean surface temperature, is the water temperature close to the ocean 's surface. The exact meaning of surface varies according to the measurement method used, but it is between 1 millimetre (0.04 in) and 20 metres (70 ft) below the sea surface. For comparison, the sea surface skin temperature relates to the ...

  7. Ocean temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_temperature

    Sea surface temperature (or ocean surface temperature) is the temperature of ocean water close to the surface. The exact meaning of surface varies in the literature and in practice. It is usually between 1 millimetre (0.04 in) and 20 metres (70 ft) below the sea surface. Sea surface temperatures greatly modify air masses in the Earth's ...

  8. Lake-effect snow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake-effect_snow

    For lake-effect rain or snow to form, the air moving across the lake must be significantly cooler than the surface air (which is likely to be near the temperature of the water surface). Specifically, the air temperature at an altitude where the air pressure is 850 millibars (85 kPa ) (roughly 1.5 kilometers or 5,000 feet vertically) should be ...

  9. Waterspout - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterspout

    A waterspout is a rotating column of air that occurs over a body of water, usually appearing as a funnel-shaped cloud in contact with the water and a cumuliform cloud. [1][2] There are two types of waterspout, each formed by distinct mechanisms. The most common type is a weak vortex known as a "fair weather" or "non-tornadic" waterspout.
