Settling particle fluxes, and current and temperature profiles in Grand Traverse Bay, Lake Michigan

"Settling particle fluxes and mass flux profiles are reported for trap samples collected at five stations in Grand Traverse Bay, Lake Michigan during 1997-1999. Trap collection precision is estimated, and 10 cm and 20 cm diameter sequencing traps are inter-calibrated using data from traps deployed in replicate on specially constructed brackets. Temperature data is reported for two stations (during June-September 1997). Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCP) current meter data and contours of backscatter strength, U and V current components, and water temperature are included for the 95 m station. All data is available online in ASCII and MS Excel formats at ftp:// ftp.glerl.noaa.gov/publications/tech_reports/glerl-116" --Abstract.
