The effect of lake dimensions upon the time taken for complete water replacement is calculated, and an illustration is given of the influence of lake area and mean depth upon the temperature of surface and bottom waters. No relation is evident between lake dimensions and the organic content (ignition loss) of the profundal muds.Morphometric properties of lakes and their influence on temperature and stratificationArticle
