Abstract

A mathematical model is used to assess the effect of temperature and relative air humidity on variations of long-wave radiation flux and the fluxes of sensible and latent heat at the water body-atmosphere interface at night in the period of spring thermal bar development. The effect of those fluxes on variations of the heat storage of the water body, the position of the thermal bar, and the velocity of its motion at night is evaluated.
