Abstract |
Red clay plumes in western Lake Superior are studied using Landsat satellite imagery to determine the relative magnitude of the three sources of the observed turbidity: erosion of the Wisconsin south shore red clay banks, resuspension of bottom sediments, and runoff from the many streams which flow through the red clay belt and then into the lake. A comprehensive sampling program was conducted during the spring of 1975 to determine the runoff contribution to the total load observed in the lake. A numerical model for water transports in Lake Superior as a function of winds is developed. This model is verified by comparison of observed and predicted water levels at several locations around the lake, and by comparison of the predicted transport patterns to actual turbidity distributions observed in Landsat imagery. |
