【 摘 要 】

Siombak Lake is a brackish or coastal lake in Medan, Indonesia. Water fluctuation in the lake was affected by sea tide, so it was more appropriately called tidal lake. Thus the influence of tides could affect the quality of water in the lake, especially temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and pH. The purposed of this study was to describe the profile of temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and pH in the waters of Siombak. Lake. This study was conducted in June to July 2018. The data measured and were analyzed in the waters spatially (horizontally) and vertically. The results showed no significant difference of temperature distribution in surface between high tide and low tide. However, it was more influenced by daily time differences. While salinity was quite different between high tide and low tide. In the dry season (April to June) salinity values were higher during high tide compared to low tide. Conversely, during the rainy season (June to August) the salinity values in low tide were higher than when they were in high tide. The vertically distribution of temperature, oxygen, and pH decreases with respect to increasing depth. But the salinity value increases with depth increased.
