We investigate the mechanisms of circulations in Lake Biwa using model results that are driven by the momentum and heat fluxes
evaluated from meteorological parameters observed around and on the lake. The kinetic energy budget shows that the wind stress
over the lake, which has positive (negative) curl over the northern (southern) region of the lake throughout the year, generates
the current system of multiple gyres in the stratified season (May–January), while the thermal forcing makes a minor contribution.
This mechanism is quite different from the previous picture, in which the thermal forcing was dominant in forming the gyre
system during the heating season. In the cooling season, the overturning of the lake occurs not in a simple one-dimensional
(vertical) process, but in a time-dependent three-dimensional one. Cold water that is formed in the shallow eastern region
descends the bottom slope to the deep lake in December to March while such a descent hardly occurs in the western region.
A large shallow area (small heat capacity) as well as intense cooling in the eastern region effectively produces cold water.
Wind again plays an important role by intensifying the cooling through its higher speed and by driving slope current. Further,
the fluctuating wind direction causes significantly time-dependent behaviors of the slope current or bottom water formation. 相似文献

The thermal structures in the vicinity of the ice–water and water–sediment boundaries of a shallow lake, L. Vendyurskoe (Northwestern
Russia) during four winter seasons are described. The heat flux at the water-ice boundary was 0.1–0.2 W m−2 during winter. The maximal heat flux at the water–sediment boundary was 4.5 W m−2 at the beginning and 0.5 W m−2 at the end of winter. The daily average value of the solar radiation penetrating into the water was 0.5 W m−2 during main part of winter and 2–50 W m−2 during April. During winter, temperature showed an oscillation in the vicinity of the sediment-water interface. Most periods
corresponding to the main oscillation frequencies in the near-bottom water layer (0–0.4 m) and upper layer sediment (0–0.35 m),
identified by FFT analysis, fall within the scale of synoptic variations (3–10 days), and in a number of cases were equal
to 1 day. The theoretical periods of the first baroclinic seiche mode of Lake Vendyurskoe are 4.5–8.5 days that compares well
with identified temperature oscillation periods. The comparison between the rate of heat content change in a water column
and the difference of vertical heat fluxes from sediment to water and from water to ice show that the horizontal heat transport
takes place in the lake during winter as a result of heat advection along the bottom. 相似文献

The concentration of dissolved oxygen in waters 0.5–0.6 m above the bottom of Lake Hibara, a dimictic lake, was zero in early
spring of 1994 and 1997. The concentrations in early spring of 1992, 1993, 1995, 1996, and 1998 ranged from 3.75 to 10.1 mg
l−1. The depth profiles of water temperature suggest that water had not circulated prior to the sample collections of 1994 and
1997, but it had done so in the cases of the other years, suggesting that winter conditions were well preserved in the former
years. On the other hand, the dissolved oxygen in the same strata decreased severely in summer. However, more or less titratable
amounts of dissolved oxygen still remained (0.01–0.73 mg l−1) at the final stages of summer stratification from 1992 to 1998. These facts show that a completely anoxic condition is not
formed in this lake in summer but is sometimes formed in winter. It is interesting to note that in spite of unfavorable winter
conditions for oxygen consumption, i.e., shorter duration and lower water temperature, oxygen is exhausted. These facts suggest
that ventilation to the depths is much greater in summer than in winter.

Detailed cross-sectional temperature and oxygen distributions during winter were examined over 5 years (2003–2007) in large,
warm, monomictic Lake Biwa. The distribution patterns showed year-to-year variation in the degree of spatial heterogeneity
and indicated that both convective mixing and gravity currents contributed to the delivery of oxygen to the profundal zone.
We encountered a warm winter in 2007, when deep-water oxygenation was delayed by more than a month relative to normal years.
Data obtained during the period of oxygenation in 2007 suggest that the timing of complete oxygenation of the bottom water
(or lower layers of the hypolimnion) was controlled by physical processes responsible for destruction of the weak thermal
stratification near the bottom. This study revealed that Lake Biwa is sensitive to year-to-year variations in winter meteorological
conditions. Specifically, the bottom environments are highly susceptible to a warm winter, especially when it follows a cold
winter. 相似文献

During the unstratified (winter) and stratified (summer) periods of 1999 and 2000, we examined carbon (C) dynamics in the
upper water column of southern Lake Michigan. We found that (a) bacterial respiration (BR) and planktonic respiration (PR)
were major sinks for C, (b) C flux through bacteria (CFTB) was diminished in winter because of reduced bacterial production
(BP) and increased bacterial growth efficiency (BGE) at colder temperatures, and (c) PR exceeded primary production (PP) during
the spring–summer transition. Drawdown of dissolved organic C (DOC), resuspended organic matter from the lake floor, and riverine
organic matter likely provided organic C to compensate for this temporal deficit. DOC in the water column decreased between
winter and summer (29–91 mg C m2 d−1) and accounted for 20%–53% of CFTB and 11%–33% of PR. Sediment resuspension events supported elevated winter heterotrophy
in the years that they occurred with greatest intensities (1998 and 2000) and may be important to interannual variability
in C dynamics. Further, riverine discharge, containing elevated DOC (5×) and dissolved P (10×) relative to lake water, peaked
in the winter–spring season in southern Lake Michigan. Collectively, terrigenous inputs (river, stream, and groundwater discharges;
storm water runoff; and atmospheric precipitation) may support approximately 10%–20% of annual in-lake heterotrophy as well
as autotrophy. Terrestrial subsidies likely play a key role in the C balance of even very large lakes, representing a critical
linkage between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.

Crater Lake covers the floor of the Mount Mazama caldera that formed 7700 years ago. The lake has a surface area of 53 km2 and a maximum depth of 594 m. There is no outlet stream and surface inflow is limited to small streams and springs. Owing
to its great volume and heat, the lake is not covered by snow and ice in winter unlike other lakes in the Cascade Range. The
lake is isothermal in winter except for a slight increase in temperature in the deep lake from hyperadiabatic processes and
inflow of hydrothermal fluids. During winter and spring the water column mixes to a depth of about 200–250 m from wind energy
and convection. Circulation of the deep lake occurs periodically in winter and spring when cold, near-surface waters sink
to the lake bottom; a process that results in the upwelling of nutrients, especially nitrate-N, into the upper strata of the
lake. Thermal stratification occurs in late summer and fall. The maximum thickness of the epilimnion is about 20 m and the
metalimnion extends to a depth of about 100 m. Thus, most of the lake volume is a cold hypolimnion. The year-round near-bottom
temperature is about 3.5°C. Overall, hydrothermal fluids define and temporally maintain the basic water quality characteristics
of the lake (e.g., pH, alkalinity and conductivity). Total phosphorus and orthophosphate-P concentrations are fairly uniform
throughout the water column, where as total Kjeldahl-N and ammonia-N are highest in concentration in the upper lake. Concentrations
of nitrate-N increase with depth below 200 m. No long-term changes in water quality have been detected. Secchi disk (20-cm)
clarity varied seasonally and annually, but was typically highest in June and lowest in August. During the current study,
August Secchi disk clarity readings averaged about 30 m. The maximum individual clarity reading was 41.5 m in June 1997. The
lowest reading was 18.1 m in July 1995. From 1896 (white-dinner plate) to 2003, the average August Secchi disk reading was
about 30 m. No long-term changes in the Secchi disk clarity were observed. Average turbidity of the water column (2–550 m)
between June and September from 1991 to 2000 as measured by a transmissometer ranged between 88.8% and 90.7%. The depth of
1% of the incident solar radiation during thermal stratification varied annually between 80 m and 100 m. Both of these measurements
provided additional evidence about the exceptional clarity of Crater Lake. 相似文献

This study examines the relationship of profundal oxygen concentrations in 55 shallow Florida lakes to humic color, trophic
state, and lake size during different seasons. The data set represented a broad range of color and trophic state. The percent
saturation of dissolved oxygen remained relatively constant during the fall (mean 78.4%), winter (mean 81.3%), and spring
(mean 82.5%), but declined markedly during summer (mean 65.2%). Chlorophyll a concentrations were highest during the winter
(mean 2.52 mg m–3) and lowest during the fall (mean 1.17 mg m–3), while color peaked during the fall (mean 30.1 mg Pt l–1) and was lowest during the summer (mean 12.7 mg Pt l–1). The relative importance of lake size, chlorophyll a, and color in explaining variation in percent oxygen saturation was
examined using multiple regression. Percent oxygen saturation was negatively correlated with color during the winter, spring,
and summer, and positively correlated with lake size in the winter and spring. However, percent oxygen saturation showed no
relationship with chlorophyll a during any season. These results suggest that colored Florida lakes are naturally oxygen depleted
and that profundal oxygen values have little relationship to lake trophic state.

In this study, the effect of a warmer winter climate on variability patterns of physical and chemical lake conditions was
examined by using monthly air temperature data from 72 meteorological Swedish sites, ice breakup data from 77 Swedish lakes
and monthly data of 17 water chemical variables from 11 nutrient-poor Swedish reference lakes during 1988–2005. The results
showed significantly increasing variations of lake ice breakup dates and nitrate concentrations over Sweden along with increasing
winter air temperatures. Variability patterns of other water chemical variables were not affected by warmer winters. Nitrate
concentrations increased their variability in spring and early summer not only between lakes but also within lakes, which
was attributed to a climate-induced increase in spring nitrate concentrations in particular in southern Sweden, while summer
nitrate concentrations remained rather constant and low all over Sweden (median 10 μg l−1). Since nitrate concentrations play an important role for primary production, highly varying concentrations will be a challenge
for biota to adapt. 相似文献

In a brackish, temperate, 24-m-deep Lake Shira, the profiles of salinity, temperature, oxygen and sulfide concentrations were
measured on a seasonal basis from 2002 to 2009. The lake was shown to be meromictic with autumnal overturn restricted to mixolimnion.
The depth of mixolimnion and position of oxic–anoxic interface varied annually. The spring mixing processes contribute to
the formation of mixolimnion in autumn. The exceptionally windy spring of 2007 caused the deepening of mixolimnion in the
winter of 2008. The winter position of oxic–anoxic interface was affected by the position of lower boundary of mixolimnion
in all winters. The salinity in the winter mixolimnion increased compared with the autumn because of freezing out of salts
from the upper water layers meters during ice formation and their dissolution in water below. The profiles of salinity and
temperature were simulated by the mathematical 1-D model of temperature and salinity conditions taking into account ice formation.
The simulated profiles generally coincided with the measured ones. The coincidence implies that simplified one-dimensional
model can be applied to roughly describe salinity and density profiles and mixing behavior of Lake Shira. 相似文献

Picoeukaryotes dominate the phytoplankton of Lake Balaton—the largest shallow lake in Central Europe—in the winter period.
We examined the annual dynamics of picoplankton abundance and composition in the lake in order to establish if the picoeukaryotes
merely survive the harsher winter conditions or they are able to grow in the ice-covered lake when the entire phytoplankton
is limited by low light and temperature. Lake Balaton has an annual temperature range of 1–29°C, and it is usually frozen
between December and February for 30–60 days. In the spring-autumn period phycocyanin and phycoerythrin rich Cyanobacteria
are the dominant picoplankters, and picoeukaryotes are negligible. Our five-year study shows the presence of three types of
picophytoplankton assemblages in Lake Balaton: (1) Phycoerythrin-rich Cyanobacteria—the dominant summer picoplankters in the
mesotrophic lake area; (2) Phycocyanin-rich Cyanobacteria—the most abundant summer picoplankters in the eutrophic lake area
and; (3) Picoeukaryotes—the dominant winter picoplankters in the whole lake. The observed winter abundance of picoeukaryotes
was high (up to 3 × 105 cells ml−1), their highest biomass (520 μg l−1) exceeded the maximum summer biomass of picocyanobacteria (500 μg l−1). Our results indicate that the winter predominance of picoeukaryotes is a regular phenomenon in Lake Balaton, irrespective
of the absence or presence of the ice cover. Picoeukaryotes are able to grow at as low as 1–2°C water temperature, while the
total phytoplankton biomass show the lowest annual values in the winter period. In agreement with earlier findings, the contribution
of picocyanobacteria to the total phytoplankton biomass in Lake Balaton is inversely related to the total phytoplankton biomass,
whereas no such relationship was observable in the case of picoeukaryotes. 相似文献

We coupled bioenergetics modeling with bottom trawl survey results to evaluate the capacity of piscivorous fish in eastern
Lake Erie to exert predatory control of the invading population of round goby Neogobius melanostomus. In the offshore (>20 m deep) waters of eastern Lake Erie, burbot Lota lota is a native top predator, feeding on a suite of prey fishes. The round goby invaded eastern Lake Erie during the late 1990s,
and round goby population size increased dramatically during 1999–2004. According to annual bottom trawl survey results, round
goby abundance in offshore waters peaked in 2004, but then declined during 2004–2008. Coincidentally, round goby became an
important component of burbot diet beginning in 2003. Using bottom trawling and gill netting, we estimated adult burbot abundance
and age structure in eastern Lake Erie during 2007. Diet composition and energy density of eastern Lake Erie burbot were also
determined during 2007. This information, along with estimates of burbot growth, burbot mortality, burbot water temperature
regime, and energy densities of prey fish from the literature, were incorporated into a bioenergetics model application to
estimate annual consumption of round goby by the adult burbot population. Results indicated that the adult burbot population
in eastern Lake Erie annually consumed 1,361 metric tons of round goby. Based on the results of bottom trawling, we estimated
the biomass of yearling and older round goby in offshore waters eastern Lake Erie during 2007–2008 to be 2,232 metric tons.
Thus, the adult burbot population was feeding on round goby at an annual rate equal to 61% of the estimated round goby standing
stock. We concluded that the burbot population had high potential to exert predatory control on round goby in offshore waters
of eastern Lake Erie. 相似文献

The driving factors of survival, a key demographic process, have been particularly challenging to study, especially for winter
migratory species such as the Adélie penguin (Pygoscelis adeliae). While winter environmental conditions clearly influence Antarctic seabird survival, it has been unclear to which environmental
features they are most likely to respond. Here, we examine the influence of environmental fluctuations, broad climatic conditions
and the success of the breeding season prior to winter on annual survival of an Adélie penguin population using mark–recapture
models based on penguin tag and resight data over a 16-year period. This analysis required an extension to the basic Cormack–Jolly–Seber
model by incorporating age structure in recapture and survival sub-models. By including model covariates, we show that survival
of older penguins is primarily related to the amount and concentration of ice present in their winter foraging grounds. In
contrast, fledgling and yearling survival depended on other factors in addition to the physical marine environment and outcomes
of the previous breeding season, but we were unable to determine what these were. The relationship between sea-ice and survival
differed with penguin age: extensive ice during the return journey to breeding colonies was detrimental to survival for the
younger penguins, whereas either too little or too much ice (between 15 and 80% cover) in the winter foraging grounds was
detrimental for adults. Our results demonstrate that predictions of Adélie penguin survival can be improved by taking into
account penguin age, prior breeding conditions and environmental features. 相似文献

The active volcano El Chichón (Chiapas, Mexico) hosts a shallow acidic crater lake. During the period 2001–2007, 26 photographs
of the crater lake were taken from the same spot at the eastern crater rim, ~160 m above the crater floor. The size of the
lake was extremely variable. Using a GPS track from around the lake shore as a reference, 26 digitized lake outlines were
corrected simultaneously for the perspective angle. The corrected lake outlines were superposed, leading to a “morphological
map” of a large section of the lake bottom. This map provides insight into the erosive–sedimentary regime of the lake floor.
The inner section of the lake is more stable due to the precipitation of sealing clays. This is probably one of the reasons
why the El Chichón crater lake has never disappeared during the past 28 years. The sealing clays at the lake bottom can be
considered the superficial analog of impermeable clay caps at the depths of hydrothermal systems. The photographic procedure
presented here may be useful for other limnological and (volcanic) lake studies aimed at describing lake morphology, and for
eventually deducing the surface area and volume of the lake. 相似文献

Some features of the thermal and dissolved oxygen structure in boreal,shallow ice-covered Lake Vendyurskoe,Russia 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A. Terzhevik S. Golosov N. Palshin A. Mitrokhov R. Zdorovennov G. Zdorovennova G. Kirillin E. Shipunova I. Zverev 《Aquatic Ecology》2009,43(3):617-627
The 5-year-long (2001–2005) studies of the winter thermal structure and the dissolved oxygen (DO) dynamics in Lake Vendyurskoe,
Russia, a typical boreal shallow mesotrophic lake of glacial origin, revealed still poorly studied features of lake-wide dynamics,
such as net lateral heat flux towards deeper parts of a lake and development of the anaerobic zone over the deepest points
of the lake basin. We estimated magnitude of the heat transport along the bottom slope based on scaling analysis. The seasonal
changes in DO concentration appear to be controlled mostly by biochemical consumption. We identify four factors controlling
the extent of anoxic zones in shallow ice-covered lakes: (1) the amount of organic matter stored in the bottom layers, including
the sediments surface during the autumnal bloom; (2) the length of the ice-covered period; (3) heat content of bottom sediments;
and (4) the initial water temperatures at the time of the ice cover formation. 相似文献

Water quality samples were obtained monthly or bimonthly 17 times from May 1974 to May 1975 at three stations in Delaware
Bay. In addition, two 12-hour cruises were also conducted at one station in February and April 1975. Surface and bottom water
samples were taken. Measurements and analyses included temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, silicate, nitrate and nitrite,
orthophosphate, ammonia, chlorophylls a, b, and c, phaeopigments, and carotenoids.
The annual pattern of temperature was typical of an estuary in the mid-Atlantic Bight. Salinity and dissolved oxygen ranged
from 22.9 to 29.7‰ and from 4.53 to 8.53 ml/l, respectively. Nutrient and pigment values showed seasonal peaks. Silicate (30.3
μg-at/1) and orthosphate (1.59 μg-at/1) were highest in September. Highest concentrations of ammonia were commonly measured
in July (6.80 μg-at/1) and September (5.13 μg-at/1), and peak concentrations of nitrate and nitrite were recorded in January
(24.27 μg-at/l), February (18.2 μg-at/1), and May (16.37 μg-at/1). Peak concentrations of chlorophyll a were measured in August (17.2 μg-at/1), October (15.70 μg-at/1), and March (15.33 μg-at/1). In general, the annual pattern
for chlorophylls b and c were similar to chlorophyll a. Comparison with other estuaries and bays (Narrangansett Bay, Long Island Sound, Raritan Bay, and Chesapeake Bay) indicated
that concentrations of nutrients and pigments in Delaware Bay were generally similar in magnitude and seasonality, These are
the first set of seasonal water quality data for lower Delaware Bay. 相似文献

Composition and variations in the occurrence of dissolved free simple organic compounds of an unproductive lake ecosystem in northern Sweden 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Low molecular weight organic carbon compounds are potentially important carbon and energy substrates to heterotrophic production
in the aquatic environment. We studied the occurrence of dissolved free amino acids (AA), monosaccharides (CHO), and carboxylic
acids (CA) in the subarctic Lake Diktar-Erik. The lake is unproductive with slightly humic water, and receives water via one
major inlet stream draining a birch forest environment. The concentration of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in the inlet stream
was strongly correlated with the discharge. This relationship changed from season to season, indicating changes in the sources
of the DOC entering the stream. AA and CHO each accounted for an average of less than 0.5% of the DOC. After high discharge
events during the ice-free period, AA and CHO occurred in especially high concentrations. CA occurred in higher concentrations
during the ice-free period, when it generally accounted for 20–30% of the DOC pool. The CA content relative to the total DOC
pool was strongly inversely correlated with overall DOC concentration, and at low DOC levels the relative content of CA was
high and vice versa. This followed a seasonal trend, with CA accounting for a smaller proportion of the DOC in winter and
a larger part in spring/early summer. A conservative estimate suggested that the studied simple organic carbon compounds potentially
could cover 30% of the bacterial gross production in the lake and therefore potentially also was an important source of CO2 that occur in supersaturated concentrations in the lake. 相似文献

Sediment phosphorus cycling in a large shallow lake: spatio-temporal variation in phosphorus pools and release 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12

Sediment and water column phosphorus fractions were recorded monthly for one year (April 2004–April 2005) in a shallow lake
recovering from nutrient pollution (Loch Leven, Scotland). Equilibrium phosphate concentration (EPC0) and gross sediment phosphorus
(P) release rates were estimated from laboratory experiments. Pore water and organic P pools were lowest during warm water
periods whereas bottom water P was lowest during cold water periods. Reductant-soluble, organic, metal oxide-adsorbed, residual
and sediment total phosphorus pools all varied significantly with overlying water depth. Short-term, high magnitude, redox
initiated P release events occurred in late summer and winter as a result of anoxic sediment conditions. Lower magnitude long-term
release conditions were maintained for most of the year, most likely as a result of organic P cycling and maintenance of high
concentration gradients between the pore and bottom water P pools. Estimates of summer P uptake/release rates, across an intact
sediment-water interface, suggested that maximum gross internal release was ~12 mg SRP m−2 lake surface area d−1 with EPC0 values ranging between 180 and 270 μg P L−1. This study highlights the biological mediation of internal loading in shallow eutrophic lakes, and in particular, the role
of sediment algae in decreasing, and sediment bacteria in enhancing, sediment P release. 相似文献

In meromictic lakes such as Lake Shira, horizontal inhomogeneity is small in comparison with vertical gradients. To determine
the vertical distribution of temperature, salinity, and density of water in a deep zone of a Lake Shira, or other saline lakes,
a one-dimensional (in vertical direction) mathematical model is presented. A special feature of this model is that it takes
into account the process of ice formation. The model of ice formation is based on the one-phase Stefan problem with the linear
temperature distribution in the solid phase. A convective mixed layer is formed under an ice cover due to salt extraction
in the ice formation process. To obtain analytical solutions for the vertical distribution of temperature, salinity, and density
of water, we use a scheme of vertical structure in the form of several layers. In spring, the ice melts as top and bottom.
These processes are taken into account in the model. The calculated profiles of salinity and temperature of Shira Lake are
in good agreement with field measurement data for each season. Additionally, we focussed on the redox zone, which is the zone
in which the aerobic layers of a water column meet the anaerobic ones. Hyperactivity of plankton communities is observed in
this zone in lakes with hydrogen sulphide monimolimnion, and Lake Shira is among them. The location of the redox zone in the
lake, which is estimated from field measurements, coincides with a sharp increase in density (the pycnocline) during autumn
and winter. During spring and summer, the redox zone is deeper than the pycnocline. The location of pycnocline calculated
with the hydro physical model is in good agreement with field measurement data. 相似文献

The effect of the heat interaction between a water column and sediments on the formation, development, and duration of existence
of anaerobic zones in ice-covered lakes is estimated based on observational data from five frozen lakes located in northwestern
Russia and North America. A simple one-dimensional model that describes the formation and development of the dissolved oxygen
deficit in shallow ice-covered lakes is suggested. The model reproduces the main features of dissolved oxygen dynamics during
the ice-covered period; that is, the vertical structure, the thickness, and the rate of increase of the anaerobic zone in
bottom layers. The model was verified against observational data. The results from the verification show that the model adequately
describes the dissolved oxygen dynamics in winter. The consumption rates of DO by bacterial plankton and by bottom sediments,
which depend on the heat transfer through the water–sediment interface, are calculated. The results obtained allow the appearance
of potentially dangerous anaerobic zones in shallow lakes and in separate lake areas, which result from thermal regime changes,
to be predicted.

Identification of sources of nutrient pollution is a first step towards remediation of eutrophication in aquatic ecosystems.
The stable isotope nitrogen-15 (15N) is a natural indicator of nitrogen (N) source and biogeochemistry. We sampled Lake Taihu, a hyper-eutrophic lake in eastern
China, and major inflow rivers during winter and spring of 2004 to determine concentration and δ15N of nitrate (NO
3
−
). Nitrate concentrations in rivers and the lake were higher, in most cases, in spring than in winter. δ15N of NO
3
−
was not correlated with NO

−
concentration, indicating that concentrations alone are insufficient to describe N sources. Results show that riverine N
inputs in winter are influenced by discharge of human sewage into rivers and the lake. In spring, however, wastewater inputs
to the lake appear to be balanced by fertilizers, atmospheric, and/or N2 fixation sources. Rain NO
3
−
concentrations were seasonally high and isotopically enriched compared to potential sources, indicating that rain may be
a significant or even dominant source of N to the lake during the rainy season. δ15N values show that urbanized areas of the lake have more sewage-derived N than those areas dominated by agriculture, aquaculture,
or industry. This observation has important implications for human health, since Lake Taihu is a source of drinking and irrigation
water as well as fish for human consumption. 相似文献
