✦ Synopsis
Measurements made in shallow lakes and tanks have shown that temperatures near and at the surface of substrates respond significantly to changes in solar radiation, water circulation and substrate color. Temperature differences between light and dark colored natural and artificial substrates ranged between o.8 and 4.oC °. Diurnal surface temperature ranges on a submerged black wooden disk varied C °when incoming solar radiation varied I4% or average daily windspeed changed from o.9 to 3.6 ms-'. Fluctuations in substrate temperatures were poorly correlated with changes in nearby air or water temperatures.
