Summary
A thermal bar exists in temperate lakes in spring and autumn. This phenomenon represents a narrow area where maximum density waters sink from the surface to the bottom. It is known that the local maximum of plankton biomass is concentrated in the region of the thermal bar [1, 2]. Modeling dynamics of plankton ecology during the thermal bar events setting the constant heat flux on the water surface was implemented for Lake Baikal [3] and Lake Kamloops [4]. Numerical study of the changes of plankton populations in the vicinity of the thermal bar is seriously limited by a lack of spatially and temporally highresolution field observations [5]. Information obtained by simulations is of substantive importance for the purpose of determining the factors influencing the plankton growth, since plankton are an indicator of water quality and source of food to many fish species
