A computer routine for calculating total lake volume contents of a dissolved substance from an arbitrary distribution of concentration profiles : a method of calculating lakewide contents of dissolved...: En36-503/83E-PDF
"In support of our studies of Great Lake climatology and energy balance at the Canada Centre for Inland Waters, we have sought to develop methods for the computation of lake total stored heat based on BT temperature profiles collected during quasi-synoptic survey cruises. The method described here is simple in concept, yet general in application. Any arbitrary distribution of profiles within the lake may be used. The effects of bottom topography are taken into account. The method can be used to compute the total quantity of any dissolved substance in a lake. Adaptations of the technique have been developed to compute lake volume above and/or below any surface defined by an arbitrary distribution of measured depths of that surface (e.g. epilimnion and hypolimnion volumes)"--Introduction, p. 1.
