Abstract
Temperature can be a valuable indicator for the identification and quantification of water fluxes in surface and subsurface water bodies. Therefore, the measurement and analysis of vertical temperature profiles is an important part of the characterization of a water body. Besides its easy application and widespread use, the analysis of temperature profiles can be complex due to its nature as a non-stationary measurement in a dynamic system. This work presents a data-based algorithm to process and segment vertical water temperature profiles avoiding subjectivity in the quantitative analysis of these profiles. Special emphasis is given to studying the reproducibility and precision of the method from data acquisition to data processing and analysis. The presented method provides a blueprint for adjacent applications and showcases the explanatory power of vertical profiles of water temperature to study water fluxes.
