Chemical characteristics of south-central Lake Huron Chemical characteristics of south-central Lake Huron

Water samples were collected for chemical analysis during eight cruises of the U.S. Bureau of Commercial Fisheries M/V CISCO in south-central Lake Huron in June-October 1956. Temperature, pH, conductivity, and the concentrations of Na+, K+, Ca++, C1-, SO4-, SiO2, and dissolved oxygen were determined for 233 samples from stations at the mouth of Saginaw Bay and along a transect from...

Geometry of river channels: Discussion by William W. Emmett and Luna B. Leopold Geometry of river channels: Discussion by William W. Emmett and Luna B. Leopold

For many years river engineers and geomorphologists have sought a rationale for the general similarity that can be observed among river channels from various environments. Some aspects of this general comparability were noted a century ago by Playfair, and other aspects were examined in a more quantitative way approximately 10 yr ago by R. E. Horton. Such similarities with respect to the...

Downstream patterns of riverbed scour and fill Downstream patterns of riverbed scour and fill

Progress has been made in describing riverbed scour and fill at a given stream section. One needs only the data routinely collected at a stream-gaging station to observe scour and fill at that station. However, similar progress has not been made to determine whether or not the scour and fill observed at a given section extends over a relatively long reach of the channel. Gaging stations...
