Lakes and other confined water bodies are not exposed to tides, and their wind forcing is
usually much weaker compared to ocean basins and estuaries. Hence, convective …

Lake Kivu is one of the African Great Lakes lying in the Albertine Rift. It provides livelihoods
to 5.7 million people living in the two riparian countries of the Democratic Republic of the …

Abstract The Arctic Ocean thermohaline stratification frequently exhibits a staircase structure
overlying the Atlantic Water Layer that can be attributed to the diffusive form of double …

We compare estimates of the turbulent dissipation rate, ε, obtained independently from
coincident measurements of shear and temperature microstructure in the southeastern …

Ocean‐driven melting of ice shelves is a primary mechanism for ice loss from Antarctica.
However, due to the difficulty in accessing the sub‐ice shelf ocean cavity, the relationship …

Lake Kivu is a 485 m deep, Central-East African rift lake with huge amounts of carbon
dioxide and methane dissolved in its stably stratified deep waters. In view of future large …

The low levels of mechanically driven mixing in many regions of the Arctic Ocean make
double diffusive convection virtually the only mechanism for moving heat up from the core of …

With the increasing extraction of methane from Lake Kivu, there is a growing need to
evaluate the effect of such operations on the lake's permanent density stratification. This …

The stratified ocean mixes episodically in small patches where energy is dissipated and
density smoothed over scales of centimeters. The net effect of these countless events effects …

Lake Kivu in East Africa has gained notoriety for its prodigious amounts of dissolved
methane and dangers of limnic eruption. Being meromictic, it is also expected to accumulate …
