Abstract
This paper presents an analysis of seasonal variations in the brightness temperature of large freshwater lakes (Baikal, Ladoga, Great Bear, and Huron) according to the data of the MIRAS radiometer of the SMOS satellite. The data show the possibility of determining the onset of the destruction of the ice cover. The resulting conclusions are confirmed by model calculations. The actual meteorological characteristics of the region and glaciological features of the studied objects were used as input parameters for the model.
