Modeling the thermal stratification of water-filled mine pits / Craig Stevens, Gregory Lawrence, Chris Rogers and Paul Hamblin.: En13-5/94-06E-PDF

"An analysis of the hydrodynamics of a deep, temperature and salt stratified, water-filled mine pit is provided. Bulk parameters suggest that vertical entrainment of a deep layer is unlikely but that horizontal wind mixing might be important. Modeling shows that the water column should undergo "overturn"; a feature not shown in the observations of dissolved oxygen. Field observations also show a deep warm salty layer. Further observations will indicate whether this is transient or not"--Abstract, page 1.
