Calculation of Black Ice Thickness and Heat Fluxes inside the Ice and at the Water–Ice Boundary in a Boreal Lake
This paper presents the results of the calculation of black ice thickness, as well as conductive heat fluxes inside the ice and at the water–ice boundary during the winter in the shallow boreal Lake Vendyurskoe (Russia). The calculation was carried out on the basis of experimental data obtained from...

This paper presents the results of the calculation of black ice thickness, as well as conductive heat fluxes inside the ice and at the water–ice boundary during the winter in the shallow boreal Lake Vendyurskoe (Russia).
