Understanding the performance of the FLake model over two African Great Lakes [PDF]

Geoscientific Model Development, 2014
The ability of the one-dimensional lake model FLake to represent the mixolimnion temperatures for tropical conditions was tested for three locations in East Africa: Lake Kivu and Lake Tanganyika's northern and southern basins. Meteorological observations

Nutrient, Organic Matter and Shading Alter Planktonic Structure and Density of a Tropical Lake

Limnological Review
The structure and density of plankton communities greatly influence carbon and nutrient cycling as well as the environmental status of lake ecosystems.

Climate-controlled sensitivity of lake sediments to record earthquake-related mass wasting in tropical Lake Towuti during the past 40 kyr [PDF]

, 2023
Located at the triple junction of the Pacific, Eurasian and Sunda plates, the Island of Sulawesi in Indonesia is one of the most tectonically active places on Earth. This is highlighted by the recurrence of devastating earthquakes such as the 2018 Mw 7.5

Spatial and Temporal Ecological Uniqueness of Andean Diatom Communities Are Correlated With Climate, Geodiversity and Long-Term Limnological Change

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
High-elevation tropical lakes are excellent sentinels of global change impacts, such as climate warming, land-use change, and atmospheric deposition. These effects are often correlated with temporal and spatial beta diversity patterns, with some local ...

Sixty years since the creation of Lake Kariba: Thermal and oxygen dynamics in the riverine and lacustrine sub-basins.

PLoS ONE, 2019
The current boom of dam construction at low latitudes endangers the integrity and function of major tropical river systems. A deeper understanding of the physical and chemical functioning of tropical reservoirs is essential to mitigate dam-related ...

Estimation of the eddy diffusivity coefficient in a warm monomictic tropical Lake

Journal of Limnology, 2016
We used a two-year dataset (1998-1999) of monthly temperature profiles from Lake Alchichica, Mexico to estimate values of the vertical coefficient of eddy diffusivity.

Zooplankton in Lake Coatetelco, a Eutrophic Shallow Tropical Lake in Mexico [PDF]

Journal of Freshwater Ecology, 2003
ABSTRACT Zooplankton from Lake Coatetelco, a shallow tropical reservoir in Morelos State, Mexico, was surveyed monthly through one year. The entire zooplankton community was represented by only five species, with the calanoid Arctodiaptomus dorsalis overwhelmingly dominant throughout the year.

Lake-size dependency of wind shear and convection as controls on gas exchange

, 2012
High‐frequency physical observations from 40 temperate lakes were used to examine the relative contributions of wind shear (u*) and convection (w*) to turbulence in the surface mixed layer.

Drivers for ecosystem respiration during the drawdown period in Dongting Lake, China

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2023
Global lakes play an active role in releasing carbon into the atmosphere. However, previous research was less focused on shallow tropical and sub-tropical lakes, especially ecosystem respiration during the drawdown period.

Large CO₂ disequilibria in tropical lakes [PDF]

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, 2009
On the basis of a broad compilation of data on pCO2 in surface waters, we show tropical lakes to be, on average, far more supersaturated and variable in CO2 (geometric mean ± SE pCO2 = 1804 ± 35 μatm) than temperate lakes (1070 ± 6 μatm). There was a significant negative relationship between pCO2 and latitude, resulting in an average decrease of pCO2 ...
