Nutrient cycling in Lake Kivu

Alfred Johny Wüest, Natacha Tofield-Pasche, Martin Schmid

This chapter summarizes the knowledge on mixing and transport processes in Lake Kivu. Seasonal mixing, which varies in intensity from year to year, influences the top ∼65 m. Below, the lake is permanently stratified, with density increasing stepwise from ∼ ...

Heat-driven spin currents on large scales

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Sylvain Bréchet

Using a three-current model (i.e. heat, spin-up and spin-down electrons) the thermodynamics of irreversible processes predicts that a temperature gradient gives rise to a spin current on large scales, in particular under the conditions used to measure the ...

Balancing nutrient inputs to Lake Kivu

Alfred Johny Wüest, Natacha Tofield-Pasche, Beat Mueller, Martin Schmid

The primary production in meromictic Lake Kivu is sustained by external nutrient inputs and by internal loading due to upwelling caused by sub-aquatic sources. We present here the results of external loading of phosphorus (P), nitrogen (N) and silica (Si) ...

An experimental study of coherent structures, secondary currents and surface boils and their interrelation in open-channel flow

Ismail Albayrak

River and open-channel flows are free surface boundary layer flows with complex 3D, large-scale, turbulent structures. The study of 2D and 3D large-scale turbulent flow structures is a great challenge for physicists, mathematicians and engineers from such ...

Lake Baikal deepwater renewal mystery solved

Alfred Johny Wüest, Martin Schmid

Deepwater renewal by intrusions and turbulent diffusion in Lake Baikal is very effective despite the enormous depth of up to 1642 m and the permanently stable stratification below similar to 300 m depth. Temperature time series recorded at the bottom of a ...

Cold intrusions in Lake Baikal: Direct observational evidence for deep-water renewal

Alfred Johny Wüest

We studied cold, deep-water intrusions in the South Basin of Lake Baikal on the basis of 2 yr of data (December 1995-November 1997) from near-bottom and near-surface thermistor strings, monthly conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) profiles, and a near-bott ...
