Acronym: | ShIC |

Title: | Quantification of shear-induced convection and bottom boundary layer mixing in natural waters |
Duration: | 01.10.2006 - 15.10.2010 |
Project manager: | PD Dr. Lars Umlauf |
Funding: | DFG |
Focus: | Transport and transformation processes |
Department: | Physical Oceanography and Instrumentation |
Participation: | Andreas Lorke (University of Konstanz, Germany) |
Cooperation: | Alfred Wüest (EAWAG, Switzerland) |
Notes: | The focus is on turbulence and mixing in sloping bottom boundary layers that become gravitationally unstable due to the near-bottom shear. With a field programs and modeling studies we compare the Baltic Sea, Lake Constance (Germany), and Lake Alpnach (Switzerland). |
