                         reservoirs, usually available at a low frequency of measurements, 
                         represents a serious constraint for the understanding of their 
                         thermal behavior. Hydrodynamic models become a powerful tool for 
                         that understanding through a qualitative approach. In this study, 
                         the one-dimensional General Lake Model (GLM) was applied to 
                         hindcast multiannual temperature profiles of a cascade system of 
                         six reservoirs located in southeast Brazil over a period of eight 
                         years. The model parameters were calibrated and validated by field 
                         data for four reservoirs. To overcome the challenge of exploring 
                         hydrodynamics in two reservoirs with a lack of measured 
                         temperatures, a parameterization strategy was applied to 
                         accomplish a better simulation by the estimation of potential 
                         sensitive parameters through regression curves. It is expected 
                         that this approach can be extended to other tropical reservoirs 
                         whenever field data is not available for the calibration 
                         procedure.",
