Data on the effects on the temperature distribution and nearshore flow patterns in Lake Michigan caused by the into-lake discharge of thermal effluents from the Oak Creek Power Plant are reported. Information is included on: wind and water current measurements; temperature variations; spectral analysis of lake current data; and thermal plume measurements taken at the power plant. (LCL).
Progress is reported on studies on nearshore circulation of thermal effluents from the Oak Creek Power Plant, Oak Creek, Wisconsin, in Lake Michigan. Some preliminary data were processed by computer programs to obtain hourly averaged values from ten minute interval values, vector frequency diagrams, and progressive vector diagrams that illustrate the distribution of current meter data according to intervals of speed and direction.
