Seasonal Changes Leave Lagoons Affected
(MSC News)--Seasonal change in lagoons is driven by soil and air temperatures, solar radiation, and temperature gradients in the lagoon. Lagoon turnover is a spring and fall occurrence, typically happening between mid-February through mid-May and again from mid-September through mid-November. This is a natural process that any standing water body goes through (pond, lake, lagoon, etc.).
Unseasonable cool overnight temperatures has sped up this process for the current year.
The unpleasant smell is from organic material that is shifting as the water column moves which is the result of cooling water and air temperatures. If the wind is blowing towards your home, business, or work place, the odor can be intensified.
Lagoons do not have a single “turn over day” as deeper lakes do. They go through periods of instability in the spring and fall, and the lagoon is liable to turn over many times.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
