| Abstract: | An exact solution has been obtained for a non-linear partial differential equation governing the vertical transport of heat in a lake. The equation, derived and analyzed numerically by Sundaram and Rehm (1971, 1973) is based on a balance between thermal buoyany forces and wind induced turbulence. The exact solution displays the qualitative features of the numerical solution and its representation of the seasonal descent of the thermocline is accurate. |
