Session Proposal: Lake-Atmosphere Interactions in Cold Regions: Measurements, Modeling and Analysis (AGU25)

H097
Lake-Atmosphere Interactions in Cold Regions: Measurements, Modeling and Analysis

Session ID#: 249512

Session Description:
This session invites interdisciplinary research focused on understanding lake-atmosphere interactions in cold regions, emphasizing hydrometeorological and hydroclimatological processes. The goal is to advance knowledge of local- to global-scale impacts of these systems on Earth system dynamics. We welcome studies that examine coupled lake-atmosphere processes, including boundary layer modification, surface heat and moisture fluxes, lake-induced convection, lake/land breeze circulations, and synoptic weather influences—including lake-effect snow—and how lake-atmosphere processes are influenced by changing climate patterns. Submissions that explore ice-related processes, such as the feedbacks between ice cover dynamics, snow accumulation, and wintertime lake-atmosphere energy exchanges are also of interest. These processes have direct implications for atmospheric stability, heat budgets, and the persistence of seasonal weather patterns. Contributions addressing observational networks, satellite remote sensing, and advanced analytical techniques—including machine learning and artificial intelligence—to improve monitoring, understanding, and prediction of coupled lake-atmosphere processes are also encouraged.
