The project is aimed at extending the air2water model (https://github.com/spiccolroaz/air2water) towards a global model usable to predict lake surface water temperature also in ungauged lakes.

Acquisition and processing of turbulence microstructure profiles using a profiler equipped with shear, temperature and conductivity microstructure sensors operated in the Venice Lagoon. The thesis may focus on i) the analysis and description of the profiles in light of the meteorological and stratification conditions or ii) the comparison of the data acquired by the three types of microstructure sensors to shed light on the time response of fast thermistors (a largely debated issue among the scientific community). The thesis will be co-advised by Dr. Damien Bouffard (EAWAG, Switzerland).
