Abstract

Vertical movements of the water surface in Rutland Water were examined using water level gauges. The timing and extent of the surface seiches and slopes due to wind-stress were not well correlated with wind speed and direction; this is thought to be due to the complex shape of the reservoir. Unexplainable diel oscillations of the water surface occurred, and an examination of the thermal stratification showed the presence of upwelling and downwelling.
