The word "epilimnion" in example sentences

Bio-energetic modeling of juvenile populations of lake trout in the epilimnion of Toolik Lake suggests that they will not survive a 3°C increase in mean July epilimnetic temperatures given existing ration, and would require a greater than eight-fold increase in food to achieve historical end-of-year sizes [16]. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The lake's water is permanently stratified, having a warm epilimnion overlying a cooler hypolimnion and is remarkably clear. ❋ Unknown (2009)

In eutrophic lakes that are stratified, concentrations of N2 may decline in the epilimnion because of reduced solubility as temperatures rise and increase in the hypolimnion from denitrification of nitrate (NO3) to nitrite (NO2) to inorganic nitrogen (N2). ❋ Unknown (2008)

This oxygen distribution results most often when oxygen consumption from decomposition exceeds oxygen inputs as the rate of organic matter sinking from the epilimnion is slowed upon entering the colder, denser metalimnetic water, allowing greater time for decomposition to occur in this layer of water. ❋ Unknown (2008)

The metalimnetic oxygen maximum distribution occurs when the oxygen content in the metalimnion is supersaturated in relation to levels in the epilimnion and hypolimnion. ❋ Unknown (2008)

In oligotrophic (unproductive) lakes that undergo thermal stratification in the summer, the oxygen content of the epilimnion decreases as the water temperature increases. ❋ Unknown (2008)

The oxygen content of the hypolimnion is higher than that of the epilimnion because the saturated colder water from spring turnover experiences limited oxygen consumption. ❋ Unknown (2008)

The prevailing westerly summer winds cause a thick epilimnion to develop at the southeastern end of the lake, whereas an absent or thin epilimnion is present in the western end. ❋ Unknown (2007)

Enhanced algae growth in the reservoir consumes the oxygen in the epilimnion and, as it decays, the mass sinks to the already oxygen-deficient hypolimnion, where decay processes reduce the oxygen concentration even further, resulting in acid conditions at lower levels and the dissolution of minerals from the reservoir bed. ❋ Unknown (2000)

Two samples were taken culated at the observed water temperatures and then corrected within the epilimnion when it was ≤ 15 m thick; ❋ Unknown (2009)

During the stable summer strati fi cation period the 30-60 m every 2 m; 60-100 m every 5 m; 100-5 m from the epilimnion, metalimnion and hypolimnion are about 15, 20, bottom every 10 m; and from 5 m-bottom at least every 1 m and up to 120 m thick respectively, depending on the depth (Fig. 3). ❋ Unknown (2009)

Development of the theory duction in the epilimnion of lakes settles into the hypolimnion of oxygen de fi cits as a measure of lake health has a long his - where it decomposes and causes a hypolimnetic oxygen tory since the fundamental work by Birge and Juday (1911), de fi cit. ❋ Unknown (2009)

During fall the epilimnion limnion layer was selected from the normal lower in fl exion thickens due to seasonal cooling. ❋ Unknown (2009)

In the second and third the epilimnion layer of Boulder Basin is generally 11-13 methods, the bottom layer depths were selected as being 5 m m. ❋ Unknown (2009)

As plants require light for photosynthesis, which creates oxygen, this leaves the epilimnion with plentiful oxygen but the hypolimnion with very little or no oxygen and no way to mix the two layers. ❋ Unknown (2009)

This leaves a very warm top layer (epilimnion), a cold bottom layer ❋ Unknown (2009)

fi rst method For example, on 20 October 2005 the epilimnion was 25 m was rejected because the hypolimnion water mass under (Fig. 3). ❋ Unknown (2009)
