Mathematical modeling was used to study the impact of cloudiness on the plankton dynamics in Lake Dolgoe (Belarus) during the spring thermal bar. Three computational experiments, involving different cloudiness values, were caried out, and in which the other meteorological parameters (air temperature, relative humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind speed, and wind direction) were set on the grounds of the data sourced from the weather station located in the urban settlement of Sharkovshchina, for March 2024. The computation outcome revealed that the extent of the sky cover with the clouds contributes to the non-uniform distribution of the phyto- and zooplankton in Lake Dolgoe in early spring.
