Zusammenfassung |
We present results of various circulation
scenarios for the wind-induced three-dimensional currents in Lake Constance,
obtained with the aid of a semi-spectral semi-implicit finite difference code
developed in Haidvogel et al. and Wang and Hutter. Internal Kelvin
and Poincaré-type oscillations are demonstrated in the numerical results, whose
periods depend upon the stratification and the geometry of the basin and agree
well with measured data. By solving the eigenvalue problem of the linearized
shallow water equations in the two-layered stratified Lake Constance, the
interpretation of the oscillations as Kelvin and Poincaré-type waves is
corroborated.
