Abstract
AbstractWe assessed how warm air temperatures, high solar radiation, and weak wind speeds might induce hypoxia in a shallow lake during a heat wave. We simulated bottom‐water dissolved oxygen concentrations and compared concentrations in 2022 with the average for the previous 30 years. We found that hypoxia was most sensitive to wind speeds. When the wind speed was low, convection was insufficient to prevent hypoxia, but there was no hypoxia if the wind speed equaled the average speed during the previous 30 years. However, if solar radiation and air temperatures equaled the respective averages during the previous 30 years, hypoxia did not occur, even if wind speeds were low. We conclude that the combined effects of weak winds and either high solar radiation or air temperatures induced hypoxia during the heat wave of 2022.
