💧 The conventional idea that the shore region and the middle of the lake are disconnected from each other needs to be changed. A new study shows that a current connects the two regions.

A la faveur des conditions froides ces jours en plaine, les eaux du #Léman poursuivent leur #refroidissement , comme le montrent ces bandes colorées donnant la température de l'eau de la surface à 50 m de profondeur du 19 au 23 janvier. Plus d'infos sur datalakes-eawag.ch/datadetail/802

Hey,
Pylake is a python package I developped to compute meaningful physical properties in aquatic sciences (thermocline, metalimnion, Schmidt stability etc)
It is optimized for small but also multi-dimensional/big dataset (parallel computing/xarray).

Congratulations Tomy Doda Tomy Doda for your PhD thesis on « Density currents driven by differential cooling in lakes: occurrence, dynamics and implications for littoral-pelagic exchange ». Thesis soon available online

Celebration with a giant Rotsee-cake

LéXPLORE, the research laboratory on Lake Geneva, opens its virtual doors. Now anyone interested can visit the platform virtually and learn more about the instruments, the data collected, the research projects and the goals of LéXPLORE.
