Holomictic lakes are lakes that have a uniform temperature and density from top to bottom at a specific time during the year, which allows the lake waters to completely mix.
Details
Holomictic lakes are non-meromictic lakes.
Most lakes are holomictic; meromictic lakes are rare, although they may be less rare than commonly thought.
