Hyperpycnal flows control the persistence and flushing of hypoxic high-conductivity bottom water in a High Arctic lake
In the deepest portions of many lakes, zones of high-conductivity bottom water (HCBW) depleted in dissolved oxygen (DO) are present. HCBW and DO are important for determining benthic diversity and abundance, nutrients, and contaminant cycling and understanding the long-term evolution of lakes. We in...
