Petrology and geochemistry of annually laminated stalagmites from an Alpine cave (Obir, Austria): seasonal cave physiology - Tufas and Speleothems: Unravelling the Microbial and Physical Controls - page 296

Fig. 1. Characteristics of Saulenhalle drips, mostly using continuously logged data. Features of all four drips, including
the three feeding the studied stalagmites, are a lack of clear seasonality and large inter-annual variations in mean
drip rate. Water temperature is given for drip SH3 (Obi55) as an example for comparison with air temperature. The
two follow a similar pattern of a rise followed by a fall during the winter season; this is attributed to the forcing effects
of winter air ventilation.
