<strong>D28</strong>: <strong>Internal</strong> <strong>seiche</strong> <strong>mixing</strong> <strong>study</strong><br />
2.4.2 SIMULATED SEICHES – ANALYSIS<br />
2.4.2.1 Rotation<br />
The Figure 16 shows the temperature<br />
iso-contour level 7.6°C at six different<br />
times at –41.0 m depth. These times<br />
are chosen in order to illustrate the rotation<br />
of the internal wave around the<br />
amphidromic point due to the coriolis<br />
forcing. The coloured stars are associated<br />
to the position of the temperature<br />
iso-contour that has the same colour.<br />
The black arrow that follow the stars<br />
explicit the wave rotation direction.<br />
The both lines Red and Purple, which<br />
are superimposed, are related to the<br />
wave period of the <strong>seiche</strong>s (80 hours).<br />
The intersection of the six curve is located<br />
at the middle of the lac, determine<br />
the amphidromic point of the internal<br />
wave.<br />
