Hydrodynamical connectivity in a small and deep tropical lake, a numerical study
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
Se analizó la conectividad hidrodinámica del lago Zirahuén para los períodos de estratificación (verano) y mezcla (invierno), en el cual se investigó la dispersión de partículas pasivas para dos casos hipotéticos: i) proceso de dispersión superficial y ii) proceso de resuspensión desde el fondo. Se utilizaron funciones de densidad de probabilidad lagrangianas para estimar la conectividad en escalas de tiempo de hasta 30 días, y se emplearon boyas a la deriva reales para ajustar los coeficientes de dispersión horizontal en el modelo numérico. En el caso i), la dispersión horizontal fue similar entre ambos periodos; solo el inicio de la primera semana fue ligeramente diferente, pero a partir del día 10, la dispersión fue similar debido al tamaño del lago. Con respecto a la dispersión vertical, las partículas permanecieron por encima de los 10 m de profundidad durante el verano y se desplazan a lo largo de la columna de agua durante el invierno, principalmente entre 10 y 20 m. En el caso ii), la dispersión horizontal fue similar entre ambas estaciones. Sin embargo, la dispersión vertical se vio inhibida por la estratificación térmica durante el verano, en la cual las partículas no alcanzaron a subir más de 20 m. En invierno la dispersión fue más intensa y alrededor del día 3 alcanzaron toda la columna de agua.
