Block course: Physical Limnology 2020
This course will be held in the Institute for Environmental Physics, Im Neuenheimer Feld 229, Heidelberg
during the time 30th March 9:30 to 3rd April 2020 13:00.
In 2020, we will put an emphasis on water movements and matter transport in lakes: for this purpose, we have invited Prof Marco Toffolon to complement the series of lectures.
- Stratification and circulation of lakes, Navier Stokes – eq.
– solutes, solubility, electrical conductivity
– density, stability and mixing, deep water renewal
– surface waves, seiche, interfacial waves
– internal waves
- properties of internal waves
- Permanent stratification, meromixis, climate sensitivity
- Turbulence I: Introduction to turbulence
- Turbulence II: Spectral characteristics and measurements
- Turbulence III: Momentum and mass transport in turbulent boundary layers
- Turbulence IV: Living in turbulence: biological – physical interactions
- wind-driven circulation in lakes
– transport in lakes by turbulent diffusion and shear dispersion
- tracers in physical limnology
