Surface versus deepest layer
In the current Lake St. Moritz profile, the surface (7.8 °C) and deepest displayed model layer at 43.00 m (7.8 °C) differ by no more than 0.1 °C. The modelled water column is therefore at a broadly similar temperature.
Across 44 calculated depth layers, the modelled temperature ranges from 7.8 °C to 7.8 °C. The full curve shows where the largest transition occurs; surface and deep values alone would not describe that layering.
The depth is the deepest layer returned by the Simstrat model, not a newly surveyed maximum depth of the lake. The profile describes a modelled lake state, not the temperature at a particular bathing site.
