abstract = {Large artificial lakes and reservoirs affect the
meteorological regime of the shore area and the local
climate takes on a number of new features that were
previously absent. This work focuses on the weather impact
of the Alqueva reservoir, the largest artificial lake in
Western Europe. An extensive set of numerical simulations
using Meso-NH mesoscale atmospheric model coupled with FLake
(Freshwater Lake) scheme was carried out. The simulations
covered a 12-month period that was chosen to compose a
so-called Typical Meteorological Year. This artificial time
period is meant to represent the typical meteorological
conditions in the region and the model results are used to
assess the changes in the local climate. To evaluate the raw
impact of the reservoir, two different scenarios of
simulations were compared: (A) with the reservoir as it
exists nowadays and (B) without the reservoir using the
older surface dataset. The results show decrease of air
temperature during daytime (10–9°C) and nighttime
increase (up to 10°C). In nearest towns, daily maximum
temperature decreased and daily minimum temperature
increased, which refers to milder weather conditions.
Alqueva mainly showed suppression in fog formation in the
nearby area. Local breeze regime was studied and monthly
lake/land breezes were described.},
