Fresh Water Lake Model Application For Seasonal Variation Of Latent And Sensible Heat Fluxes From The Water Surface Of Rudrasagar Lake,Tripura

This paper describes the seasonal variation of latent heat and sensible heat fluxes from the surfaces of   lake Rudrasagar, Tripura using the fresh water lake model (FLaKe).Modeled output is very much helpful for predicting the vertical temperature structure and mixing in lakes of various depth .The model is also widely used in numerical weather prediction, climate modeling and also the model plays role of physical module in different aquatic ecosystem models. A parameterization scheme is required to develop to compute sensible and latent heat at the lake surface, which accounts for specific features of the surface air layer over lakes. Seasonal temperature map of lake water, mixed layer depth profile, water-sediment heat flux and   change in surface fluxes of lake water may be obtained as model output.
