Abstract: The contributions of river and wind induced mixing, respectively, inthe deep hypolimnion of Urnersee change their relative importance from spring (dominance of wind mixing) to summer and fa11 (dominance of mixing by plungingrivers during floods). The effect of both mechanisms is concentrated to events (wind storms, flood events) separated by periods of little mixing. Horizonta1density currents from the neighboring basin caused a significant deep waterreplacement in May and June of 1986.
