What role does stratification play during winter in wind-induced exchange between the multi-depth basins of a large lake (Lake Geneva)?

Rafael Sebastian Reiss et al.

Summary: Detailed studies have been conducted on wind-driven interbasin exchange in Lake Geneva, revealing that stratification modifies the exchange process and global warming will enhance the importance of wind-induced deepwater renewal in large lakes.

Detecting Submesoscale Cold Filaments in a Basin-Scale Gyre in Large, Deep Lake Geneva (Switzerland/France)

S. M. Hamze-Ziabari et al.

Summary: Submesoscale filaments have been found in Lake Geneva for the first time based on high-resolution 3D numerical simulations, field observations, and remote sensing imagery. These filaments are formed during summertime and have significant impacts on the biophysical processes in the lake.

Multi-column modelling of lake Geneva for climate applications

Romain Gaillard et al.

Summary: The interaction between large inland water bodies and the atmosphere has a significant impact on regional weather and climate, as well as lake dynamics, thermodynamics, ice-formation, and ecosystems. This study evaluates a turbulence-closure k-epsilon multi-column lake model in standalone mode as a computationally-efficient alternative to a full three-dimensional hydrodynamic model for Lake Geneva. The results show that the model can reasonably reproduce the seasonal mean of thermal structures and exchanges between the lake surface and the lower atmosphere, and it requires significantly fewer computational resources compared to the 3D model. This makes it suitable for coupling with numerical atmospheric models in cases where full 3D lake models are too computationally demanding.

On the Processes Sustaining Biological Production in the Offshore Propagating Eddies of the Northern Canary Upwelling System

Elisa Lovecchio et al.

Summary: Oceanic mesoscale eddies play a crucial role in marine life and nutrient transport. In the northern Canary Upwelling System, long-living cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies sustain biological production and export through different mechanisms. The regional pattern of organic matter and nutrients is shaped by both cyclonic trapping and transport and anticyclonic stirring.

Wind-Induced Hypolimnetic Upwelling Between the Multi-Depth Basins of Lake Geneva During Winter: An Overlooked Deepwater Renewal Mechanism?

Rafael S. Reiss et al.

Summary: This study investigates wind-induced interbasin exchange between two basins of Lake Geneva using field observations, modeling, and particle tracking. The results show that a two-layer flow field is formed after a strong wind event, with downwind surface drift into the deeper basin balanced by hypolimnetic currents into the shallower basin. The Coriolis force greatly affects the interbasin exchange dynamics. Upwelling leads to an increase in hypolimnetic volume and turbulent mixing between the water masses.

Mehrshad Foroughan et al.

Summary: This study documented for the first time the presence of frontal slick in a lake, indicating the formation of submesoscale fronts. The sharpening of temperature gradient in the submesoscale created an active front with strong convergent flow.

Monitoring Mesoscale to Submesoscale Processes in Large Lakes with Sentinel-1 SAR Imagery: The Case of Lake Geneva

Seyed Mahmood Hamze-Ziabari et al.

Summary: Large-scale coherent circulations, such as gyres and eddies, are common in large lakes and play a crucial role in determining water quality. However, field measurements of near-surface currents in lakes are challenging due to their high variability. Satellite imagery, combined with numerical simulations and field observations, can provide valuable insights into the mesoscale and submesoscale processes in lakes. In this study, Sentinel-1 SAR satellite imagery was used to identify gyres/eddies in Lake Geneva, and the results were validated using numerical models and in situ observations.

Basin-scale gyres and mesoscale eddies in large lakes: a novel procedure fortheir detection and characterization, assessed in Lake Geneva

Seyed Mahmood Hamze-Ziabari et al.

Summary: In large lakes, basin-scale gyres and mesoscale eddies play a crucial role in spreading biochemical materials and energy. Detailed transect field observations are needed to assess their spatial and temporal extent and to validate numerical simulation results. A novel approach combining numerical simulations, statistical analyses, and remote sensing data was developed to determine the patterns and characteristics of basin-scale gyres in different seasons in Lake Geneva.

Circulation in Lake Ontario: Numerical and Physical Model Analysis

Yuan Hui et al.

Summary: The validation of numerical models for large lakes is challenging due to limited field observations. This study used a physical model of Lake Ontario to support numerical simulations, finding strong eastward flows and various gyres in the absence of wind, and distinct gyre patterns with a west wind. Most numerical models capture general features of observed patterns but lack details, especially nearshore regions.

Widespread deoxygenation of temperate lakes

Stephen F. Jane et al.

Summary: The concentration of dissolved oxygen in aquatic systems plays a crucial role in regulating biodiversity, nutrient biogeochemistry, greenhouse gas emissions, and drinking water quality. Climate change and human activities have led to declines in dissolved oxygen in lakes, impacting the physical and chemical environment, as well as essential ecosystem services.
