Processing of in-situ measurements of surface velocity and temperature in lake shira

Abstract

Long-term field measurements of current velocity, wind velocity and temperature have been conducted in Lake Shira during 2013-2018. The first studies of surface currents were carried out using the Lagrangian drifter in 2018. In this work, the principal component analysis was used to identify the main components of the near-surface current and surface temperature. The data obtained using the drifter was analyzed with the connection of the wind pattern.
