title: Using noble gases to analyze the efficiency of artificial aeration in Lake Hallwil, Switzerland
abstract: Eutrophic Lake Hallwil (Switzerland) is equipped with an artificial aeration system to prevent anoxic conditions developing in the deep water during stratification in summer. The aeration system consists of diffusers releasing oxygen‐rich gas containing noble gases into the deep water at the bottom of the lake. The deep water is strongly supersaturated with He, Ne, and Ar, while Kr and Xe are present at concentrations corresponding to their respective atmospheric equilibria. The observed noble g
