Data for: Strong bottom currents in large, deep Lake Geneva generated by higher vertical-mode Poincaré waves

Description

Combining entire summer season current and temperature observations and 3D numerical modeling, we demonstrate that previously undetected vertical mode-two and vertical mode-three Poincaré waves in 309-meter deep Lake Geneva (Switzerland/France) generate strong bottom-boundary layer currents at 300-m depth. The data include measurements from moored Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs), vertical thermistor lines, and the corresponding 3D modeling results. The three-dimensional model used in this study is based on the MIT General Circulation Model (MITgcm, http://mitgcm.org/, https://doi.org/10.1029/96JC02775). The main MITgcm model configuration files are available online at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.13144189.
