A new extended Kalman filter (EKF)-based algorithm to assimilate lake water surface temperature (LWST) observations into the lake model/parameterisation scheme Freshwater Lake (FLake) has been developed. The data assimilation algorithm has been implemented into the stand-alone offline version of FLake. The mixed and non-mixed regimes in lakes are treated separately by the EKF algorithm. https://themightyhobbyers.shop/product-category/lanyard/
