The spatial variability of precipitation, that is very substantial even on very small catchments, can never be completely revealed by a network of gauges. Equally, the time variability and extremes, sampled in a set of data with limited duration, are seldom adequately revealed. Thus, we deal with rainfall data

Temperature conditions and heat fluxes in ice covered lakes are discussed analyzing measurements in eight Swedish lakes. Heat fluxes from sediments and heat fluxes from water to ice are determined from temperature profiles. The contribution of solar radiation is estimated from heat-budget calculations.
