Will this lake turn over soon? Is the fact that the water is 54 on top and 52 from 10 feet to the bottom a sign that the lake is ready to flip when the top layer drops to below 52? Is this enough information to judge? I hear a lot of BS about lakes turning over. Can turnover be tracked with data?

Lets hear your opinion. We all have one.

Thanks,
Bruce

I'm not a hydrological wizard, not even a shaman...I have a little mojo sometimes though, but if those are the actual temps at all those depths I would think that lake is not stratified at all. I would think it is right at the brink.

my WAG would be that this lake is already/recently turned over.
(assuming it stratified, which i assume a lake of this depth would do in summer that far south.)
the temps are evenly distributed, and so is the dissolved oxygen.
turnover is normally anticipated in this temperature range.
a slight bump of the surface temps could be due to the sun.

This is post turnover and if this is Cave Run, in the summer it would show about a 10 degree drop somewhere between 17-25 feet and basically 0% oxcygen at all levels lower than that.

I was hoping it had turned over. The warm water on top must be water that recently warmed up.

Thanks
