Trends in thermal conditions for southern Rocky Mountain lakes.

Predicted change in lake surface temperature metrics for 27 southern Rocky Mountain lakes. Metrics were calculated using the lake-specific non-linear models of daily mean lake surface temperature, mean weekly air temperatures form SNOTEL sites, and future mean weekly air temperature predicted from climate models [41]. Rates of change ·decade-1 were calculated by linear regression using annual measures of each metric as a function of year. Upper and lower bounds of these predictions from our uncertainty analysis are shown in parentheses.
