    • A Coupled Heat, Salt and Water Balance Model of Evaporation and Stratification in Saline Terminal Lakes: An Application to the Dead Sea 

      Salhotra, Atul Mohan; Adams, E. Eric; Harleman, Donald R. F. (Cambridge, Mass : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Aquatic Science and Environmental Engineering, Dept. of Civil Engineering, School of Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1986-04)
      A time varying, one-dimensional, coupled heat, salt and water budget model is developed for a hypersaline water body in which the vertical stability depends on the opposing influences of temperature and salinity stratification. ...
