Multi-year wind dynamics around Lake Tanganyika [PDF]

open access: yesClimate Dynamics, 2016
Lake Tanganyika is the second largest freshwater lake in the world by volume and is of prime importance for the regional economy in East Africa. Although the lake is recognized as a key component of the regional climate system, little is known about ...

External Nutrient Sources for Lake Tanganyika

Journal of Great Lakes Research, 2003
This study assessed the external nutrient sources for Lake Tanganyika from August 1994 to August 1995. The physico-chemical characteristics of the three largest inflowing rivers (Rusizi, Malagarasi, and Lufubu) and the wet atmospheric deposition in Bujumbura (Burundi), Kigoma (Tanzania), and Mpulungu (Zambia) were analyzed.

Lake Tanganyika and its life

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1991
Abstract Lake Tanganyika, situated in the western rift system of East Africa, is the largest in volume of the African Great Lakes and the second deepest lake in the world. It is extremely ancient in comparison with most lakes. The aquatic flora and fauna are remarkable for their diversity and high degree of endemicity, as well as for the

Acoustic attenuation in Lake Tanganyika

Nature, 1979
THE Lake Tanganyika acoustic attenuation experiment of April 1970 (ref. 1) was the second of two lake experiments designed to help identify the cause of the low-frequency attenuation anomaly in seawater by providing comparative freshwater data. Although the Lake Tanganyika results showed no evidence of the anomaly, the attenuation was unaccountably ...

The heat on Lake Tanganyika

Nature, 2003
Warming of surface waters and declining fish catches in Lake Tanganyika have been linked to global climate change. The impact of global warming on natural ecosystems may be starting to affect local economies.

The Prosobranchs of Lake Tanganyika

Nature, 1938
WHEN Sir Richard Burton discovered Lake Tanganyika in 1858 his companion, Speke, collected a number of shells from the shores. These proved to be Prosobranchs of types hitherto unknown in fresh water. Later investigations, notably those of the three Tanganyika expeditions, the first two under the leadership of J. E. S.

Variable extension in Lake Tanganyika

Tectonics, 1988
Lake Tanganyika is part of the east African rift system. The amount of extension along 22 dip section seismic lines in the lake has been measured. The maximum extension observed is 4.5 km (approximately 10%) at the central part of the rift and decreases to about 0.5 to 1‐km extension at the north and south ends of the rift.
