Flow Distribution in the St. Lawrence River System at Wolfe Island, Kingston Basin, Lake Ontario

Determination of the mass output through the St. Lawrence River outflow system is an important component in computing a mass balance of chemical loadings in Lake Ontario. Toward this goal, during 1986 and 1987, a network of self recording current meter moorings were deployed in the main channels of the St. Lawrence River system in Lake Ontario. On two occasions in 1987, detailed Lagrangian experiments were carried out using a cluster of …
