Abstract
Thermal stratification refers to difference of temperature across water column and can act as a proxy of algal bloom. Algal bloom is a problem in Lake Trevallyn in Launceston, Tasmania. Administrators are interested in finding the causes of algal bloom and in prediction of such events in Lake Trevallyn. The results presented in this paper are the findings from a study to predict thermal stratification in Lake Trevallyn using a machine learning based approach.
