'World's
largest lake may hit record high temperature'

Washington:
The world's largest lake, Lake Superior, is on its way to clocking
record high temperatures this season, thanks to low ice cover last
winter.
Jay Austin of the University of Minnesota, Duluth has documented
accelerated warming of Lake Superior over the last 30 years.
"One of these seasons at low- to mid- latitudes is a season where
you have a layer of warm water sitting on top of very cold water,"
Discovery News quoted Austin as saying.
Once these layers develop, the more buoyant warm water can't mix
with the colder water below, so all the summer sun is soaked up by
the surface layer.
"This year it occurred in early-to mid-June. The lake is going to
have an extra month it's going to be heating up this year," he said.
Due to low ice cover, the exposed water absorbs more heat, which in
turn melts the ice faster, creating a cycle of warming.
The trend will affect fisheries since some fish cannot breed in cold
waters. There will also be increases in microorganism growth,
causing oxygen depletion in the lake, killing or driving away other
aquatic life.
The warmer lake may make at least one species especially happy:
humans.
"It's going to be, frankly, a more pleasant year to be recreating in
the lake," Austin said.
