Abstract
The Lake Øvre Heimdalsvatn is greatly affected by wind. Precipitation, especially heavy rainfall, has probably a good possibility of eroding and leaching material into the lake. The mean annual temperature is −1.2°C, and the estimated mean annual evapo‐transpiration is about 200 mm. The lake is covered by ice from late October to the beginning of June. Run‐off, lake level and precipitation are well correlated, indicating that the influence of the catchment is large and rapid.Keywords
