description abstractThis paper proposes a possible explanation for the mean cyclonic circulation in large stratified lakes The condition of no heat flux through the bottom boundary causes the isotherms to dip near the shores to intersect the sloping bottom orthogonally. This ?doming? of the thermocline causes an internal pressure gradient in the surface layer with higher pressure nearshore and results in a geostrophic cyclonic circulation.
