title: Eddy generation in a large, deep dimictic freshwater lake in ice‐free period
abstract: Abstract We address eddy generation in the middle part of Lake Baikal—a large freshwater dimictic lake in Siberia, where river discharge, wind influence and coastline shape impact horizontal water exchange. We use satellite remote sensing, historical observations and in situ data to follow the different stages of warm and cold anticyclonic eddy generation before and after vertical overturn; an aspect that has received little attention in previous works.
