  2. Twin Lakes Beach, Manitoba - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_Lakes_Beach,_Manitoba

    Twin Lakes Beach experiences a humid continental climate (Köppen Dfb [18]) with warm to hot summers and cold windy winters.The climate is also influenced by Lake Manitoba. Due to the fact that Twin Lakes Beach lies on its shores, the community experiences temperature moderation during the ice-free months of year, and thus has reduced diurnal temperature variation during these months ...

  3. Woodlands Lake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodlands_Lake

    At some point the lake was renamed Woodlands Lake. Midway into the 19th century, Woodlands Lake Waterfall and its surrounding area was owned by a number of financiers including Cyrus W. Field as well as J.P. Morgan. [2] In 1869, the New York and Boston Railroad built a railroad line on the east bank of the lake between Highbridge and Brewster.

    These woodlands can be found alongside rivers and streams. [49] In Nigeria, you can also discover riparian zones within the Ibadan region of Oyo state. Ibadan, one of the oldest towns in Africa, covers a total area of 3,080 square kilometers and is characterized by a network of perennial water streams that create these valuable riparian zones. [49]

  6. Lake-effect rain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake-effect_rain

    Consequentially, the air over the water's surface is heated and this leads to showers developing. Furthermore, rain showers generally develop over a waterbody in autumn to early winter due to the higher water temperature compared to the air above. [7] Only when the lake water is cooler than the air temperature, cloud development is hindered ...

  7. 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.

  8. Thermocline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermocline

    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 depth.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D.W._Field_Park

    The park consists of 650 acres (260 ha) of fields, woodlands, and water bodies in northern Brockton and southern Avon, Massachusetts.
