Comparative description of the thermal features of Lake Ladoga and Lake Ontario with particular reference to nearshore water quality / G.K. Rodgers, M.A. Naumenko and C.R. Murthy.: En13-5/97-131E-PDF

"Lakes Ontario and Ladoga are both large deep dimictic lakes of the north temperate zone. A descriptive comparison has permitted an overview of where there are similarities in the physical processes that could allow some economy in the research that might be undertaken in one lake to the benefit of both. In general terms, the larger scale processes, such as the annual heating cycle and general stratification, are quite similar with the exception of the degree of ice cover and its effects on mixing. Lake Ladoga has a much more extensive ice cover. Nearshore processes of flow and mixing call for the development of more site-specific coastal limnological climatology, although the general types of features that require elaboration in each area can be established ahead of time. This work has been carried out as part of the Canada/Russia Cooperative Agreement on Water Quality"--Management perspective.
