Vertical temperature profiles obtained in Lake Ontario during May and June of 1970 revealed the presence of considerable fine structure in the thermal regime. Local features such as small‐scale temperature inversions and isothermal layers were observed at various depths on more than half the profiles. Some comparisons are made between freshwater fine structure and its oceanic counterpart.
