Observations of turbulent heat fluxes over inland water bodies are scarce despite being critical to adequate lake parametrization for numerical weather forecast and climate models. Scintillometry has allowed for the regional (~ km 2 ) estimation of turbulent heat fluxes, but few studies have assesse...
