Projekt: Quantification of shear-induced convection and bottom boundary layer mixing in natural waters
| Akronym: | ShIC |
|---|---|
| Titel: | Quantification of shear-induced convection and bottom boundary layer mixing in natural waters |
| Laufzeit: | 01.10.2006 - 15.10.2010 |
| Projektleiter: | PD Dr. Lars Umlauf |
| Finanzierung: | DFG |
| Schwerpunkt: | Transport und Transformationsprozesse (bis 2012) |
| Sektion: | Physikalische Ozeanographie und Messtechnik |
| Beteiligung: | Andreas Lorke (University of Konstanz, Germany) |
| Kooperation: | Alfred Wüest (EAWAG, Switzerland) |
| Kommentar: | The focus is on turbulence and mixing in sloping bottom boundary layers that become gravitationally unstable due to the near-bottom shear. With a field programs and modeling studies we compare the Baltic Sea, Lake Constance (Germany), and Lake Alpnach (Switzerland). |
