Thermal mixing regimes in ponds and shallow lakes

Lakes are classified by thermal mixing regimes, with shallow waterbodies
historically categorized as continuously mixing systems. Yet, recent
studies demonstrate extended summertime stratification in ponds,
underscoring the need to reassess thermal classifications for shallow
waterbodies. To evaluate the mixing regimes of shallow waters, we measured
summertime thermal dynamics in 34 ponds and shallow lakes across temperate
North America and Europe. This dataset provides a time series dataset of
water temperatures across the water column along with characteristics of
each study waterbody, including some physical, chemical, and biological
parameters. This dataset accompanies a manuscript entitled
"Classifying mixing regimes in ponds and shallow lakes,"
published in Water Resources Research (10.1029/2022WR032522).
