Implications of non-uniform wind stress on lake circulation : with application to Quesnel Lake, B.C.
In hydrodynamic modeling of lakes, wind stress is often assumed uniform over an entire water body. This is not always an accurate representation of the wind stress since it does not consider wind distribution inhomogeneities or the effect of windwaves. These factors modify wind stress at the air-...
