Abstract Heat storage change (HSC) is a crucial component of lake's thermal energy budget. Conventional temperature profile based models of HSC require location specific parameters such as lakebed topography. Based on the half‐order time‐derivative formula of heat fluxes, an analytical model was formulated for estimating HSC from water surface temperature and solar radiation without using geography dependent parameters. The proposed model was tested against field measurements at Poyang Lake, a shallow inland lake, which has pronounced seasonal variations in water level and lake area. Our analysis indicates that the model accurately simulates diurnal HSC with a coefficient of determination of 0.94 and a root mean squared error (RMSE) of 77.5 ± 21.6 Wm−2for the study period. Larger nighttime RMSE (75.0 ± 26.8 Wm−2) than the daytime value (55.1 ± 19.7 W m−2) is attributable to larger measurement errors of nighttime turbulent fluxes. The estimation of HSC independent of temperature profile and lake‐specific parameters by the proposed model facilitates remote sensing monitoring the HSC of global water bodies.more » « less

The data are associated with the following manuscript: Hanson, P. C., Ladwig, R., Buelo, C., Albright, E. A., Delany, A. D., & Carey, C. (2023). Legacy phosphorus and ecosystem memory control future water quality in a eutrophic lake. Lake water and ice observational data and lake bathymetry are from the North Temperate Lakes Long Term Ecological Research program. Brief abstract of the work: To investigate how water quality in Lake Mendota might respond to nutrient pollution reduction, we used computer models to simulate the elimination of phosphorus inputs from the catchment and track water quality change. The data herein are used to drive and calibrate the model. In addition, model code and simulation output are included as "other entities."more » « less
