Шаблон:Lake stratification topics

Holomictic lakes are lakes that have a uniform temperature and density from surface to bottom at a specific time during the year, which allows the lake waters to mix in the absence of stratification.

Details

Holomictic lakes mix at least occasionally, in contrast to meromictic lakes.[1] Most lakes on Earth are holomictic; meromictic lakes are rare, although they may be less rare than commonly thought.[2] Amictic lakes are sealed off by ice and never mix.

There are five types of holomictic lakes:[3]

  • Polymictic (mixing many times annually)
  • Cold Monomictic (mixing once annually; exhibiting negative stratification)
  • Warm Monomictic (mixing once annually; exhibiting positive stratification)
  • Dimictic (mixing twice annually)
  • Oligomictic (mixing less than once annually)
