Data for: Wind-induced hypolimnetic upwelling between the multi-depth basins of Lake Geneva during winter: An overlooked deepwater renewal mechanism?

Combining field observations, 3D hydrodynamic modeling and particle tracking, we investigated wind-driven interbasin exchange, and in particular hypolimnetic upwelling, between the deep Grand Lac (max. depth 309 m) and shallow Petit Lac (max. depth 75 m) basins of Lake Geneva (Switzerland/France) during the weakly stratified fall/winter period 2018-2019. The data include measurements from moored Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs) and vertical thermistor lines along with the corresponding 3D modeling and particle tracking results. The three-dimensional model used in this study is based on the MIT General Circulation Model (MITgcm, http://mitgcm.org/, https://doi.org/10.1029/96JC02775). The particle tracking code is based on ctracker (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1034118)
