Water Exchange between Bed Depressions in Baikal

Water Resources Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Published results of studies and calculations based on data on the salinity of river and lake waters are used to assess the resulting horizontal water exchange between bed depressions in Baikal. The role of this process in the redistribution of nutrients in the lake is demonstrated using dissolved Si as an example.
