An outline of the physical limnology of Lake Malawi (Lake Nyasa)
Lake Nyasa) Lake Malawi, in tropical central Africa, is 560 by 75 km and consists of a single basin, maximum depth 695 m. Below 250 m the lake is homothermal at about 22.5”C and is anoxic. Above this level there is a seasonal cycle with the development of a marked thermocline. By May the upper 60 m is homothermal at about 27°C. During the dry, windy cool season the epilimnion cools but only in ...
متن کاملEffects of diurnal vertical mixing and stratification on phytoplankton productivity in geothermal Lake Rotowhero, New Zealand
Mixing processes in lakes are key factors controlling light availability for phytoplankton growth, but understanding the contribution of mixing is often confounded by other factors such as nutrient availability and species dynamics. Our study examined this problem in a low pH, geothermally heated lake dominated by one phytoplankton genus and lacking the complexity of nutrient limitation, phytop...
متن کاملMonsoon influences on the limnology of Juam Lake, South Korea
Korean lakes differ from other temperate counterparts because they are artificially constructed reservoirs and experience an annual hydrologic cycle dominated by a summer monsoon (JONES et al. 1997, 2003, KIM et al. 2001). In this paper we describe how the monsoon influences the general limnology of Juam Lake, South Korea, as a contribution to the growing body of information on processes and se...
متن کاملObservations of a deep-mixing event in Crater Lake, Oregon
We present observations of the evolution of a deep-mixing event in a deep, temperate lake. The observations were obtained from thermistors mounted on a long-term mooring in the lake. The event seems to have originated near 150-m depth and resulted in a plume or layer of cold water from the upper half of the lake that descended to the lake bottom (590 m) over a 3-d period. Net mixing associated ...
متن کاملSnowpack Measurement Variability Across the Lago Escondido and Lake
Snowpack is highly variable across different scales of terrain and with changing land cover. Previous research has used various terrain properties, such as elevation, slope, aspect, northness, occasionally at different resolutions, to estimate the distribution of snowpack properties. Snow depth is among the easiest snowpack properties to measure, and average values are used to determine the spa...
