Lake Okeechobee Conceptual Ecosystem Model
Lake Okeechobee is a large (1,730 km) freshwater lake located at the center of the interconnected south Florida aquatic ecosystem. The lake is shallow (average depth <3 m), originated about 6,000 years ago during oceanic recession, and under natural conditions probably was a slightly eutrophic and had vast marshes to the west and south. The southern marsh was contiguous with the Florida Evergla...
متن کاملLake Effect Snow Storms

متن کاملIntensified Arabian Sea tropical storms
Tropical cyclones over the Arabian Sea in the pre-monsoon season (May–June) have intensified since 1997 (ref. 1, Fig. 1a) owing to significant reductions in storm-ambient vertical wind shear (VWS) in the troposphere; these reductions have decreased on average by about 3m s from the pre-1997 epoch (1979–1997) to the recent epoch (1998–2010). The authors attribute the reduction of premonsoon VWS ...
متن کاملCirrus Canopies in Tropical Storms
An analysis is made of the generation, advection, and dissipation processes of the cirrus canopy in tropical storms with particular emphasis on the formation of sharp edges. Although subsidence and accompanying evaporation may be factors, this formation is closely tied with the wind flow pattern near the edges. The stronger the radial wind velocity in the vicinity of the edges, the greater is t...
متن کاملPhosphorus — Natural versus Pollution Levels: Lake Okeechobee Case Study
The quality of our environment has become the predominant issue of today. In Florida, as well as other states in the country, there has been particular concern over the quality of our lakes. The United States Environmental Protection Agency has estimated that, of the 12 million lakes found in the United States, 25% are currently facing water quality problems (Nair and Graetz, 1997). Eutrophicat...
