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 ...
