Open questionXE-HNAT2 marksNeeds review
Net solar radiation of 1360 W m⁻² is incident on the surface of a still lake having mixed layer depth of 20 m. Find the change in temperature (in SI units) of the mixed layer of the lake for a day length of 8 hours. (Rounded off to 2 decimal places)
Assume that there is no variation in solar radiation in a day and all radiation incident on the surface is absorbed uniformly throughout the mixed layer (Density of lake water is 1025 kg m⁻³ and Specific heat capacity (Cₚ) of lake water is 3850 J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹).
