Hydrodynamics strongly contributes to the water quality status in lakes and reservoirs. By analyzing the alternation of mixing and stratification events, using in parallel a numerical model and high fre-quency in situ measurements, we address the phe-nology of a small urban lake between spring and au-tumn, over three successive years (2015 to 2017).
