Improved calculations of emissions of greenhouse gases from stratified lakes require understanding the physical processes controlling transport of dissolved gases to the air-water interface on diel, synoptic, and seasonal time scales. We address this issue during the transition from late summer to autumn cooling in a small temperate lake by combining micrometeorology, physical limnology, and carbon dioxide (CO2) measurements throughout the water column. Over the 26-day campaign, the lake cooled and emitted CO2 with daily average loss of 23 mmol CO2 m(-2) d(-1). Over diel cycles, lake surface pCO(2) decreased during daytime heating and increased during nighttime cooling, while daytime CO2 fluxes exceeded nighttime fluxes by 35% due to higher daytime wind speeds. We compared the effects of diel and synoptic weather patterns on the CO2 distribution within the lake and lake-atmosphere CO2 flux. Increases in near-surface pCO(2) scaled with stratification and heat loss which moderated transport of dissolved gases into the mixed layer. When winds were above similar to 4 m s(-1), lake-scale circulations drove upwelling and downwelling that redistributed heat and carbon dioxide between the northeast and southwest basins. Short-burst peak CO2 fluxes exceeded 50 mmol m(-2) d(-1) during windy periods associated with storms. However, the seasonal cooling-induced transition to persistent deep mixing led to the highest CO2 concentrations in the mixed layer and at the surface and the highest sustained CO2 fluxes (approaching 100 mmol m(-2) d(-1)).
