Description

An oxygen-18 study of Lake Titicaca indicates good mixing from the surface down to 250 m. An attempt was made to assess the isotope mass balance which suggests that up to 7% of inflow is lost by leakage and surface outflow. Further measurements are needed for final checking of the isotope balance model. (author)
