<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 />
