The Imprint of Primary Production on High-Frequency Profiles of Lake Optical Properties

Alfred Johny Wüest, Camille Roland Marie Minaudo

Water inherent optical properties (IOPs) contain integrative information on the optical constituents of surface waters. In lakes, IOP measurements have not been traditionally collected. This study describes how high-frequency IOP profiles can be used to do ...

LeXPLORE: A floating laboratory on Lake Geneva offering unique lake research opportunities

Natacha Tofield-Pasche, Alfred Johny Wüest, Sébastien Lavanchy, Damien Bouffard

Environmental sciences depend heavily on observational data. Successful studies of ecological processes in lakes require in-situ data that cover the relevant temporal scales from milliseconds to entire seasons. Temporal and spatial coverage requirements re ...

Horizontal transport under wind-induced resonance in stratified waterbodies

Alfred Johny Wüest, Serban George Constantinescu, Kyoung Sik Chang, Hugo Nicolás Ulloa Sánchez

Periodic winds acting on a stratified waterbody can amplify normal modes of motion and enhance the basin-scale circulation via resonance. Here, we use idealized largeeddy simulations to investigate the flow features and quantify the horizontal transport in ...

Meteolakes: An operational online three-dimensional forecasting platform for lake hydrodynamics

Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Theo Baracchini

Environmental management depends on high-quality monitoring and its meaningful interpretation. The combination of local weather dynamics, regional anthropogenic stresses and global environmental changes make the evaluation of monitoring information in dyna ...

Data assimilation of in situ and satellite remote sensing data to 3D hydrodynamic lake models: a case study using Delft3D-FLOW v4.03 and OpenDA v2.4

Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Theo Baracchini

The understanding of physical dynamics is crucial to provide scientifically credible information on lake ecosystem management. We show how the combination of in situ observations, remote sensing data, and three-dimensional hydrodynamic (3D) numerical simul ...

Subaquatic slope instabilities: The aftermath of river correction and artificial dumps in Lake Biel (Switzerland)

Alfred Johny Wüest, Laëtitia Meuriot, Nathalie Dubois, Carl Love Mikael Råman Vinnå

River engineering projects are developing rapidly across the globe, drastically modifying water courses and sediment transfer. Investigation of the impact of engineering works focuses usually on short-term impacts, thus a longer-term perspective is still m ...

Assessing Subaquatic Mass Movement Hazards: an Integrated Observational and Hydrodynamic Modelling Approach

Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Nathalie Dubois, Carl Love Mikael Råman Vinnå

High-resolution lake and reservoir bathymetric surveys can pinpoint locations that may experience underwater landslides (subaquatic sedimentary mass movements). These can pose a risk to underwater and shoreline infrastructure. This paper outlines an approa ...

Model-based data analysis of the effect of winter mixing on primary production in a lake under reoligotrophication

Alfred Johny Wüest, Hugo Nicolás Ulloa Sánchez, Shubham Krishna, Camille Roland Marie Minaudo

Nutrient loading, in combination with climate change are important drivers of primary productivity in lakes. Understanding and forecasting future changes in primary production (PP) in response to local and global forcing are major challenges for developing ...

An automated calibration framework and open source tools for 3D lake hydrodynamic models

Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Theo Baracchini, Andrea Cimatoribus

Understanding lake dynamics is crucial to provide scientifically credible information for ecosystem management. In this context, three-dimensional hydrodynamic models are a key information source to assess critical but often subtle changes in lake dynamics ...

Hypolimnetic oxygen depletion rates in deep lakes: Effects of trophic state and organic matter accumulation

Alfred Johny Wüest, Robert Vincent Schwefel, Beat Mueller

This study investigated the consumption of oxygen (O-2) in 11 European lakes ranging from 48 m to 372 m deep. In lakes less than similar to 100 m deep, the main pathways for O-2 consumption were organic matter (OM) mineralization at the sediment surface an ...

Convection in Lakes

Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard

Lakes and other confined water bodies are not exposed to tides, and their wind forcing is usually much weaker compared to ocean basins and estuaries. Hence, convective processes are often the dominant drivers for shaping mixing and stratification structure ...

Resolving biogeochemical processes in lakes using remote sensing

Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Theo Baracchini, Vincent Maurice Nouchi

Remote sensing helps foster our understanding of inland water processes allowing a synoptic view of water quality parameters. In the context of global monitoring of inland waters, we demonstrate the benefit of combining in-situ water analysis, hydrodynamic ...

Differential Heating Drives Downslope Flows that Accelerate Mixed-LayerWarming in Ice-Covered Waters

Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Hugo Nicolás Ulloa Sánchez, Kraig Bates Winters

In ice-covered lakes, penetrative radiation warms fluid beneath a diffusive boundary layer, thereby increasing its density and providing energy for convection in a diurnally active, deepening mixed layer. Shallow regions are differentially heated to warmer ...

Convection‐Diffusion Competition Within Mixed Layers of Stratified Natural Waters

Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Oscar Rodrigo Sepúlveda Steiner

In stratified natural waters, convective processes tend to form nearly homogeneous mixed layers. However, shear‐driven turbulence generated by large‐scale background flow often rapidly smooths them through mixing with the stratified surroundings. Here we s ...

Energetics of Radiatively Heated Ice-Covered Lakes

Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Hugo Nicolás Ulloa Sánchez, Kraig Bates Winters

We derive the mechanical energy budget for shallow, ice-covered lakes energized by penetrative solar radiation. Radiation increases the available and background components of the potential energy at different rates. Available potential energy drives under- ...

Le Lac de Zurich en Ligne - Prévisions hydrodynamiques 3D en temps-réel sur meteolakes.ch. Aqua & Gas - Fachzeitschrift für Gas, Wasser und Abwasser

Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Theo Baracchini

Les lacs constituent d’importantes ressources en eau potable en Suisse, château d’eau de l’Europe. Pourtant, ils sont souvent négligés dans le cycle hydrologique global. Menacés à la fois à l’échelle globale par les changements climatiques, ainsi qu’à l’éc ...

Oxygen consumption in seasonally stratified lakes decreases only below a marginal phosphorus threshold

Alfred Johny Wüest, Robert Vincent Schwefel

Areal oxygen (O-2) consumption in deeper layers of stratified lakes and reservoirs depends on the amount of settling organic matter. As phosphorus (P) limits primary production in most lakes, protective and remediation efforts often seek to reduce P input. ...

Tributaries affect the thermal response of lakes to climate change

Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard

Thermal responses of inland waters to climate change varies on global and regional scales. The extent of warming is determined by system-specific characteristics such as fluvial input. Here we examine the impact of ongoing climate change on two alpine trib ...

Mechanical energy budget and mixing efficiency for a radiatively heated ice-covered waterbody

Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Hugo Nicolás Ulloa Sánchez

Ice-covered waterbodies are far from being quiescent systems. In this paper, we investigate ice-covered freshwater basins heated by solar radiation that penetrates across waters with temperatures below or near the temperature of maximum density. In this sc ...
