Holomictic lake
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Holomictic lakes are lakes, which, at some time during the year, have a uniform temperature and density from top to bottom, allowing the lake waters to completely mix. Holomictic lakes are non-meromictic lakes.[1]
Most lakes are holomictic; meromictic lakes are considered rare, although they may be more common than generally acknowledged.[citation needed]
