TLDR
In this paper, the authors calculate the following properties over the range of 0-0.6 salinity, 0/sup 0/-30/sub 0/C, and 0-180 bars: density, thermal expansibility, temperature of maximum density, maximum density and minimum specific volume, isothermal compressibility, specific heat at constant pressure, and sound speed.Abstract:
Dissolved salts affect the thermodynamic properties of lake waters. Equations are given to calculate the following properties over the range of 0-0.6 salinity, 0/sup 0/-30/sup 0/C, and 0-180 bars: density, thermal expansibility, temperature of maximum density, maximum density and minimum specific volume, isothermal compressibility, specific heat at constant pressure, specific heat at constant volume, sound speed, adiabatic compressibility, freezing point, adiabatic temperature gradient, and static stability.read more

Climate change: A catalyst for global expansion of harmful cyanobacterial blooms
Hans W. Paerl,Jef Huisman +1 more
TL;DR: Recent studies revealing that regional and global climatic change may benefit various species of harmful cyanobacteria by increasing their growth rates, dominance, persistence, geographic distributions and activity are reviewed.

Summer heatwaves promote blooms of harmful cyanobacteria
TL;DR: In this paper, a coupled biological-physical model was developed to investigate how competition for light between buoyant cyanobacteria, diatoms and green algae in eutrophic lakes is affected by the meteorological conditions of this extreme summer heatwave.

TL;DR: The thermal motion of atoms and molecules is perceived on the macroscopic level as molecular diffusion as discussed by the authors, as the slow but persistent movement "down along the concentration gradient" although the average speed of the atoms is on the order of tens to hundreds of meters per second, because the molecules do not maintain the same direction long enough.
