Abstract

The daily primary production in lake Lucerne (47° n latitude) was determined at different depths at approximately monthly intervals between 22 July 1969 and 8 May 1970, by summing up series of short term measurements made during each day, using the C14 method. Simultaneously irradiant energy and attenuation of light in the water was measured. It is shown that, considering the photosynthesis-light response the trophogenic layer of the lake can be assumed as homogeneous only from mid October to the end of March. Different known models to estimate daily surface production rates are compared with direct measurements and a new numerical model is described which allows daily production as a function of depth to be calculated. A method is presented which converts the production rate per unit of surface area measured during a standard exposure time to the daily production rate.
