The seasonal cycle of ice thickness and temperature in Lake Wuliangsuhai, a typical shallow lake in the central Asian arid climate zone, was simulated using the HIGHTSI model and the MERRA-2 data as the meteorological forcing. The average ice growth rate was 0.64 cm·d−1 and −1.65 cm·d−1 for the grow...
