A priori estimates of mixing and circulation in the hard-to-reach water body of Lake Vostok
Lake Vostok in Eastern Antarctica is covered by a ∼4000 m thick ice sheet that glides over the sub-glacial water body on a time scale of ∼20 000 years. As a basis for “pre-expedition” planning, a priori estimates are made for water temperature, heat flux and currents. Whereas vertical temperature gr...
