Application of an ice thermodynamic model to a shallow freshwater lagoon
In this study, we apply an ice thermodynamic model to a shallow freshwater lagoon in the south-eastern part of the Baltic Sea — the Curonian Lagoon. The model results were compared with the measurement data from three near‑shore stations during the period of 2004–2017. The simulation data showed the...

In this study, we apply an ice thermodynamic model to a shallow freshwater lagoon in the south-eastern part of the Baltic Sea — the Curonian Lagoon.
