A planned project to generate hydroelectric power by carrying Mediterranean water into the Dead Sea has stimulated a preliminary numerical model study of the regional meteorological patterns and the evaluation of some possible local climatic modifications. Predicted mesoscale meteorological patterns associated with two frequent synoptic conditions over the region are presented. Emphasis has been focussed on illustrating and studying two general aspects of the thermal circulations generated by a lake which is confined between mountains (LMC): the effect of external flows on the LMC structure and the effects of lake water temperature on the LMC intensity.
