Funded Activity Summary

Mass flux pathways in stratified lakes. The aims of this project are to determine parametric descriptions of all transport and mixing mechanisms and their interactions in a stratified lake, validate these parameterisations through process fieldwork (Lake Argyle and Lake St Clair) and then use this understanding to validate and improve a new Lagrangian Dynamic Lake Multi-Basin Model. This project will endeavour to provide lake managers with a new, validated numerical model that will allow inter-seasonal simulations with the numerical error being less than the signal. This will be of great importance to ecology, as future advances in that area will largely depend upon a model with correct description of the mass flux paths in a stratified lake.
