Description / Table of Contents:
Physical processes in lakes and oceans highlights the close links between the hydrodynamics of lakes and the ocean. Until recently what was known about the hydrodynamics of lakes has been the result of the efforts of a few researchers who have relied heavily on the results from the ocean. Here limnologists and oceanographers compare the physical processes in lakes and oceans as well as emphasize some of the challenges of the flux path problem. The world's foremost experts review the dynamics of the surface layer, the metalimnion, the hypolimnion and the benthic boundary layer; the focus is on transport and mixing. The difficulties of the flux path problem are featured in a series of articles where the interaction of hydrodynamics, biology and chemistry is examined.
