Surface water temperatures in four lakes of the English Lake District (TL) are shown to be sensitive to climate change and a large-scale atmospheric phenomenon known as tropospheric Rossby wave breaking (RWB). RWB occurs frequently near the English Lake District, bringing warm and moist air, or cool...
