An upwelling event at Onondaga Lake, NY: characterization, impact and recurrence

The occurrence, features and impacts on oxygen resources of an upwelling event in culturally eutrophic Onondaga Lake, NY, are documented, and recurrence is investigated, based on data collected as part of long-term, robotic, and event monitoring programs. The upwelling event occurred on September 11...

Description
Summary:The occurrence, features and impacts on oxygen resources of an upwelling event in culturally eutrophic Onondaga Lake, NY, are documented, and recurrence is investigated, based on data collected as part of long-term, robotic, and event monitoring programs. The upwelling event occurred on September 11, 2002, in response to a wind event of average wind speed of 10 m s^sup -1^ that extended over an interval of 11 hours along the main axis of the lake. Longitudinal differences in temperature (T) and dissolved oxygen (DO) documented for the lake's surface waters during the upwelling event were 5.7°C and 10 mg l^sup -1^. DO concentrations
