CONTROL OF FJORDIC DEEP WATER RENEWAL BY RUNOFF MODIFICATION / Réglage du renouvellement des eaux profondes des fjords en utilisant un modèle qui effectue une modification du régime de l'écoulement

Abstract

Loch Etive is a Scottish fjord subject to fresh-water runoff which renders it markedly brackish. This paper considers the frequency of deep water renewal, developing a model which relates the timing of all such renewals to runoff records. Using the model one can examine the effect of changes caused by interference with the natural runoff pattern.
