Sparkling. Increasing SW offset by 0.5 Watt/year

Trout lake.

Color scales are slightly different
WTF.

This is a complete head-scratcher. For TR, my first take would be that the greater SW causes sharper strat and partitions more heat in the surface, where it is lost faster. Don't know if the blue is a rise in thermocline depth??

for SP, I guess the governing of heat loss really kicks in earlier that I would have imagined. I will stop trying to guess what these things look like - it really makes me look like an idiot :)

I know. Egg on my face for my "theories". Blue is a rise in thermo depth. If you put more rad energy in it wins in the battle with the wind for sharper stratification? I'm going to shelve this for now.
