TL;DR: The International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS) established the Measurements and Observations in the XXI century (MOXXI) Working Group in July 2013 as discussed by the authors, which comprises a growing community of tech-enthusiastic hydrologists that design and develop their own sensing systems, adopt a multi-disciplinary perspective in tackling complex observations, often use low-cost equipment intended for other applications to build innovative sensors, or perform opportunistic measurements.

Seasonal variations of halite saturation in the Dead Sea
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present new insights from the Dead Sea on the role of seasonal thermohaline stratification and water balance on the seasonal and depth variations of the degree of saturation of halite (salt) and the rate of growth along the water column.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a multidisciplinary study of sedimentary, geochemical, and geophysical data from industrial offshore wells in the Levant Basin, which recovered a sedimentary record of deep-basin Mediterranean evaporites deposited during the Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC).
Journal ArticleDOI
Temperature seasonality control on modern halite layers in the Dead Sea; in situ observations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the active precipitation of halite layers from the only modern analog for deep, halite-precipitating basins, the hypersaline Dead Sea.

Journal ArticleDOI
Double-diffusive convection
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a rather personal view of the important developments in double-diffusive convection, a subject whose evolution has been the result of a close interaction between theoreticians, laboratory experimenters and sea-going oceano-graphers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stratification of lakes
Bertram Boehrer,Martin Schultze +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a model for the formation of meromixis in lakes, and the assumptions behind salinity, electrical conductance, potential density, and potential temperature are introduced.
Journal ArticleDOI
Double diffusion in oceanography
TL;DR: Turner et al. as mentioned in this paper showed how opposing stratifications of two component species could drive convection if their diffusivities differed, and they also identified the potential for the oscillatory instability when cold, fresh water overlies warm, salty water.

Distributed fiber-optic temperature sensing for hydrologic systems
John S. Selker,John S. Selker,Luc Thévenaz,Hendrik Huwald,Alfred Mallet,Wim Luxemburg,Nick van de Giesen,Martin Stejskal,Josef Zeman,Martijn Westhoff,Marc B. Parlange +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the spectrum of fiber-optic tools that may be employed to make these measurements, illuminating the potential and limitations of these methods in hydrologic science.
