Observations of mixing in a stratified lake / by P. Hamblin, C. Stevens, G. Lawrence.: En13-5/94-08E-PDF

"Quantification of mixing in the surface layers of lakes is important for the understanding of various biological processes. Our study is a case in point where we attempted to obtain mixing rates of fertilizer added to the surface layers in order to enhance biological productivity. In this report we focus on the observations taken on June 8, 1992 in Kootenay Lake, British Columbia, during a period of strong near surface stratification and shear as well as indications of vigorous mixing at one of three moored temperature profilers. These observations were made near a constriction in the lake cross-sectional area. An acoustic doppler current profiler (ADCP), a conductivity-temperature-depth profiler (CTD), dye patch dispersion and meteorological data complemented the mooring data"--Abstract, page 1.
