Thermal bar studies in the Krasnoyarsk Reservoir based on remote sensing datasets

Abstract

We study a possibility of using remote sensing datasets to identify a thermal bar in the Krasnoyarsk Reservoir. MODIS thermal band data have been used to produce sets of images showing temporal and spatial temperature distribution across the Krasnoyarsk Reservoir. Thematic maps of temperature distribution across the reservoir have been derived for the spring period of 2016-2019, which show the thermal bar period to commence and end up within about one and the same time interval.
