Increase of density due to mixing (cabbeling instability) in a spring thermal bar in Lake Baikal results in the sinking of cold surface water (T = 3.2−3.4°C, w = 0.3 cm s−1) below the profile of Tmd. This density increase generates forced convection and subsequent movement of cold water along the underwater slope to maximum depths. Cooling of deep and near-bottom waters caused by forced convection is compensated during other seasons of the year by eddy heat flux directed toward the bottom. On a long-term basis, vertical temperature profiles in deep waters remain constant.
