Wind-induced Internal Seiches in Lake Zurich Observed and Modeled'

During August and September 1978, 3 1 current meters and 120 temperature sensors were deployed to record every 10 or 20 min at various depths at 12 moorings (with wind speed and direction at three moorings) in Lake Zurich. We explore here the baroclinic (internal seiche) response to wind impulses, observed as fluctuations in isotherm depth and current speeds. Those fluctuations and their energy...

A. Overview of the Flathead Lake Seismic Survey

Dam breaking seiches

Experimental and theoretical models are used to explore the break of a moraine dam by catastrophic erosional incision initiated by overtopping with a displacement wave. The experiments are conducted in a rectangular tank with an erodible barrier made from sand and grit. Theory combines shallow-water hydrodynamics with an empirical model of erosion. The models confirm that dams can be broken by ...

Rapid Redox Transformations of Arsenic and Characterization of the Internal Seiches in the Upper Mystic Lake, Medford, Massachusetts

The rate constants for in situ arsenic redox transformations in the surface waters of a eutrophic lake were estimated from observed horizontal heterogeneity in the arsenic species concentrations in the epilimnion of the Upper Mystic Lake. The smallest rate constants necessary to explain the observed horizontal heterogeneities were 10 times higher than rate constants estimated from monthly profi...
