| Abstract: | A vertically integrated approach to the analysis of thermistor chain and wind data from a long, narrow, stratified lake indicates that forcing events are short relative to the response time. Correlations between forcing and isotherm tilts clearly indicate stratification response times dependent on internal wave speed. In addition, it is possible to infer basin-scale internal wave damping where over 80% of the potential energy in the internal wave setup is lost in one internal wave period. |
