Strawberry Sept 20

[SkunkedAgain]

Hey Kent, so I've always heard the water turning over and all, but never really seen it happen or noticed it while I was out... I don't really think the water would wait till it's 39 degrees before it starts turning over, I would think as the surface layer gets colder than the lower layers the shift would happen gradually because as you mentioned a more dense condition would make the surface layer heavier than the water under it and I assume that happens to the point where the lower layer hits the most dense form at 39 degrees then I assume that the upper layers start cooling towards forming ice.... Have you ever seen it happen all at once? Just curious if anyone really knows the mechanics??? I know I've seen in the fall when the water gets all stirred up from what I assumed was the turn over, but it just doesn't make sense to me as I think about it... But then again that brings up the topic of the thermo cline and I'm not sure I under stand that really well either... You know much about that? Thanks Jeff
