I like the direction ewest is taking this.
I have often contemplated the same efforts...what to do with aeration wrt large rain events. I have a larger then neccessary watershed and have taken temp readings of inlet, pond, and outlet waters during storms, but have always found them to be very close if not the same. So, I have never adjusted my aeration schedule.
I have done some reading wrt DO and rainwater and found that rainwater carries fair amounts of DO, no real data, just fair amounts.
If it is during the season that my aeration is in use, I would probably do nothing. This allows the water to change temp on it's own, likely a slower overall change.
If it happens in the off season, once again, doing nothing seems appropriate so that dead water is not brought up, adding to the environmental change.
The more I think about it, the more scenarios I can come up with, but I have not run across one wrt to temperature that would change my course. Ewest has put a new spin on it for me, however. Time to add to the scenarios!
