Turbulent diffusion processes in the Great Lakes / C.R. Murthy.: En36-540/14-1978E-PDF
"The circulation in natural bodies of water such as the Great Lakes are generally very complex turbulent motions. Superimposed on the mean flow circulation patterns are eddy-like motions of varying intensity and scales. These eddy—like motions exist in both horizontal and vertical directions. The scale of horizontal eddies, however, are much larger than the vertical eddies because the Lakes are many times wider than they are deep. A direct consequence of this is the large-scale water movements and the associated transport and dispersion of chemical and biological species from one area of the lake to another"--Introduction.
