Results of Studies of Synoptic Changes in Production Processes Based on Automatic Measurements

Abstract

This paper presents the results of frequent observations of the intensity of production processes in the surface water layer in the Krasnovidovo pool of the Mozhaysk Reservoir from June 17, 2018 to September 26, 2018. Measurements were carried out using an automatic production meter developed by A.V. Goncharov, a system of water temperature recorders, subaquatic illumination, photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), and meteorological characteristics. No statistically significant relationship between gross production and the main predictors determining its value have been recorded throughout the measurement period, while its relationships with water temperature and illumination proved to be statistically significant for the period with no limitation of biogenic elements and for the autumn cooling period. According to the results, an important factor determining the amount of gross production is dynamic mixing.
