Ia. Belolaptikov et al., ON THE NONSTATIONARITY OF DEEP BAIKAL WAT ER FLOWS AS DERIVED FROM NEUTRINO TELESCOPE DATA, Izvestia Akademii nauk. Rossijskaa akademia nauk. Fizika atmosfery iokeana, 34(1), 1998, pp. 90-96
Data on the luminescence of the Baikal water medium that have been obt
ained with the neutrino telescope NT-36 are presented. The maximum lev
el of luminescence and its high spatial and temporal inhomogeneity are
observed annually from August to October. This is explained by the no
nstationary processes of water inflow from shallow depths with high ve
rtical velocities. A case when the velocity of vertical water motion w
as equal to 2.3 cm s(-1) is described. The important role of dynamic f
actors in initializing the vertical water exchange is underlined.
