Wintertime Coastal Upwelling in Lake Geneva: An Efficient Transport Process for Deepwater Renewal in a Large, Deep Lake
David Andrew Barry, Ulrich Lemmin, Andrea Cimatoribus, Rafael Sebastian Reiss
Combining field measurements, 3‐D numerical modeling, and Lagrangian particle tracking, we investigated wind‐driven, Ekman‐type coastal upwelling during the weakly stratified winter period 2017/2018 in Lake Geneva, Western Europe's largest lake (max. depth ...
2020Evolution and decay of gravity wavefields in weak-rotating environments: a laboratory study
Gravity waves are prominent physical features that play a fundamental role in transport processes of stratified aquatic ecosystems. In a two-layer stratified basin, the equations of motion for the first vertical mode are equivalent to the linearised shallo ...
2018Nonlinear dynamics of the near-shore boundary layer of a large lake (Lake Geneva)
David Andrew Barry, Ulrich Lemmin, Damien Bouffard, Andrea Cimatoribus
We examine near-shore and pelagic current variability in Lake Geneva, a large and deep lake in western Europe, using observations from several measurement locations and a three-dimensional numerical model for the period 2014-2016. Linear internal seiche mo ...
2018Sediment resuspension mechanisms and their contributions to high-turbidity events in a large lake
High-resolution field data, collected during April to October of 2008–2009, were analyzed to investigate the quantitative contribution of sediment resuspension to high-turbidity events in central Lake Erie. Resuspension events were distinguished within hig ...
American Society of Limnology and Oceanography2017Optimizing the parameterization of deep mixing and internal seiches in one-dimensional hydrodynamic models: a case study with Simstrat v1.3
Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Robert Vincent Schwefel, Adrien Gaudard, Carl Love Mikael Råman Vinnå, Martin Schmid
This paper presents an improvement of a one-dimensional lake hydrodynamic model (Simstrat) to characterize the vertical thermal structure of deep lakes. Using physically based arguments, we refine the transfer of wind energy to basin-scale internal waves ( ...
Copernicus Gesellschaft Mbh2017Bacteria-induced mixing in natural waters
Alfred Johny Wüest, Oscar Rodrigo Sepúlveda Steiner, Talia Ekin Tokyay Sinha
Swimming organisms can enhance mixing in their natural environments by creating eddies in their wake and by dragging water along. However, these mixing mechanisms are inefficient for microorganisms, because swimming-induced variations in velocity, temperat ...
