Abstract
Water surface temperature is a one of indirect tracers of water bodies dynamics and closely tied to ecosystem functions. The results of the use of AVHRR (Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer) data for the mapping and analysis of the Lake Baikal water surface temperature distribution, detection of upwelling event and vorticities, exploration of thermal fronts movements are presented in this paper.
