Lake Kinneret...

is a medium-size lake (20 km long, 42 m deep) that is arguably the best-studied lake in the world.  The Kinneret Limnological Laboratory and the Centre for Water Research at the University of Western Australia have carried out extensive field and modeling studies.  I was involved during my post-doctoral studies in development of the ELCOM 3D model of the lake.
