| Abstract: | Wind flows in meromictic saline lakes in which the water column is not mixed to the bottom for at least one year are studied. This leads to the formation of upper and depth layers with small density gradients, between which there is a water layer with a large density gradient. It has been shown that, depending on the density stratification and the wind speed, wind flows (in the vertical plane) of two types are possible: with one or two circulation zones. For a two-layer lake model, a criterion for the change in the wind flow regime is proposed. |
