Seasonal evolution of the basin - scale internal wave field in a large stratified lake

摘要

The response of the water column to varying conditions of stratification and wind forcing was investigated in Lake Kinneret (Israel) using data collected from thermistor chains and acoustic Doppler current profilers during 1997 and 1998. The strong daily sea breeze was found to generate a vertical model 1 internal Kelvin wave and basin - scale internal Poincare waves of vertical modes 1, 2, and 3.
