Abstract
Mixing and transport processes are of major importance for the ecology of lakes [1]. In particular, deep-water renewal determines to a large extent the distribution of nutrients and dissolved oxygen in deep lakes such as Lake Issyk-Kul (Kyrgyzstan). The characterization and quantification of deep-water exchange is therefore essential for the understanding of the functioning of such lake ecosystems.
