Mass flux pathways in stratified lakes

该项目的目的是确定所有的传输和混合机制及其相互作用的参数化描述在一个分层的湖泊，验证这些参数化通过过程实地考察（湖阿盖尔和湖圣克莱尔），然后使用这种理解来验证和改进一个新的拉格朗日动态湖泊多流域模型。该项目将努力为湖泊管理者提供一个新的、经过验证的数值模型，该模型将允许进行跨季节模拟，数值误差小于信号。这将是非常重要的生态学，因为在该领域的未来进展将在很大程度上取决于一个模型与正确的描述在分层湖的质量通量路径。

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.
